Caroline Flack’s brother Paul Flack made a deeply emotional final TV appearance months before his death, speaking openly about the pain his family still carried.
Paul died in June at the age of 55. His death came six years after the loss of his sister Caroline, who took her own life in February 2020.
He was found unresponsive at his home in Norwich on June 21. Doctors later pronounced him dead at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
An inquest is due in October. A provisional post-mortem gave the cause of death as cardiac arrest due to hanging, according to reports.

Paul then asked his relatives: “What’s the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?”
He followed with a heartbreaking remark: “Probably the same as me. Do you think the newspapers and the police do? No, they’ve forgotten about it.
“It’s not their problem anymore.”
