Caroline Flack's brother 'never recovered' from her death, inquest hears

The inquest heard that Paul Flack, brother of TV presenter Caroline Flack, had never recovered from her death, taken in February 2020. Paul, 55, was found unresponsive at his home in Sandringham Road, Norwich, on June 21 and later died in hospital. His partner, Joanna Millington, told Norfolk Coroner's Court that Paul had struggled with his father's dementia and her sister's death in 2020.

Millington described Paul as "everyone's favourite person," but said his struggles took a toll. Caroline Flack, 40, also took her own life in 2020, fearing press intrusion ahead of her trial for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend. Paul had sought help for low mood in August 2020 but did not attend follow-up appointments. His father had developed dementia and died earlier in the year.

Despite being described as kind and supportive, Paul was found unresponsive on Father's Day, having declined a cup of tea and cake from his daughter and instead went out to buy beers and listen to music in the garden. A toxicology report found his blood alcohol level was four times the legal limit.
