Caroline Flack’s brother has died six years after the former Love Island host took her own life.
Paul Flack, 55, was found unresponsive at his Sandringham Road home in Norwich on June 21 before later dying at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
A provisional post-mortem has given 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 enquiries would be required before the circumstances surrounding his death can be fully established.
The brief hearing was adjourned until October 23 while evidence continues to be gathered.
Mr Flack, an artist and graphic designer, is survived by his partner and two children.
Following Caroline’ s death in 2020, Mr Flack posted a childhood photograph of his beloved sister on Instagram, writing: ‘This will be my last post here. May those who know feel shame for eternity. Love you Caroline.’
The tribute remains his final post on his Instagram account.
