Caroline Flack’s brother, Paul Flack, has died six years after the former Love Island presenter took her own life.
Flack, 55, was found unresponsive at his home on Sandringham Road in Norwich on June 21.
He was taken to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, where he later died.
A provisional post-mortem determined the cause of death as cardiac arrest due to hanging.
An inquest into his death was opened at Norfolk Coroner’s Court on Monday. Coroner Yvonne Blake said further investigation is needed before the full circumstances of Flack’s death can be confirmed.
The hearing was brief and has been adjourned until October 23 while additional evidence is gathered.
Flack, who worked as an artist and graphic designer, is survived by his partner and two children.
Following his sister’s death in 2020, he shared an emotional tribute to his sibling on Instagram alongside a childhood photo.
He wrote: “This will be my last post here. May those who know feel shame for eternity. Love you Caroline.”
The post remains the final message shared on his account.
