"Officers were called by ambulance after concerns for the safety of a man in his 50s at a property in Sandringham Road," Norfolk Police said in a statement to the BBC. "He was taken by ambulance to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead at 10.44pm [on June 21]."

PEOPLE reports that a hearing into his death was opened on Monday, June 29, with another scheduled for Oct. 23.

The Norfolk County Coroner's Office did not immediately respond to **'s request for comment.

Paul, an artist and graphic designer, leaves behind his partner and two children. His final post on Instagram remains a tribute to his sister Caroline, penned six months after her death.

"This will be my last post here," he captioned the August 2020 post, which included a childhood photo of his sister. "May those who know feel shame for eternity. Love you Caroline."

The following year, Paul appeared alongside his mother and two other sisters in the 2021 documentary *Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death*, which explored the *Love Island *host's life and mental health struggles.

For years, Caroline was one of Britain's biggest television stars, known as the host of shows like *The Xtra Factor*, *I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here Now!,* and, of course,* Love Island. *She also won the BBC show* Strictly Come Dancing* in 2014.

But the dark side of her fame manifested in the relentless scrutiny that Caroline faced from both the media and the public. In 2020, her family confirmed that she was found dead in her London flat after taking her own life.

"We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time and we would ask they make no attempt to contact us and/or photograph us," her family requested through a lawyer.

Prior to her death, Caroline had to step down from her hosting duties after she was charged with assaulting her partner in December 2019. At the time, she had been dating tennis player Lewis Burton and had admitted to hitting him with a mobile phone after reading a message that led her to believe he had acted unfaithfully. She was due to stand trial in March 2020, after prosecutors decided to proceed with an assault charge.

Coroner Mary Hassell would later publicly highlight the immense stress Caroline endured in the months leading up to her death, arguing that she took her own life due after learning that she would be prosecuted.

"She knew she would face the media, press, publicity — it would all come down upon her," Hassell said.
