Paul Flack, Caroline Flack’s brother, died after being found unresponsive at his Sandringham Road home in Norwich on June 21. He was 55, and the death has already moved into the formal inquest process at Norfolk Coroner’s Court.
His death later came at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. A provisional post-mortem gave the cause of death as cardiac arrest due to hanging, a finding that sets out the medical explanation but does not end the legal inquiry into how those circumstances came about.
Norfolk Coroner’s Court
The inquest into his death opened on Monday, June 29, before Norfolk Coroner. Area coroner Yvonne Blake said further enquiries would be required before the circumstances surrounding his death could be fully established. The brief hearing was then adjourned to October 23 while evidence continues to be gathered.
That sequence matters because the process has now split into two tracks: the medical cause has been given, but the broader account still needs to be built from evidence. For families, that usually means waiting on the coroner’s findings rather than treating the first hearing as the end of the story.
Paul Flack and the Flack
Paul Flack’s death lands with added weight because it came six years after Caroline Flack took her own life. She was a TV presenter and former Love Island host, so this is not just a private family loss; it reopens public attention on a family already marked by a previous death.
The practical next step is the October 23 hearing, where the evidence-gathering stage is due to continue. That is the point at which the coroner’s court can start narrowing the gap between the provisional medical finding and the full circumstances around what happened at the Norwich home.
