Paul Flack never recovered from sister Caroline's death, inquest finds
Paul Flack, 55, died after struggling with the loss of his sister Caroline in 2020 and his father's dementia.
Paul Flack was found unresponsive at his home on 21 June and died in hospital. A toxicology report showed he had blood alcohol four times over the legal driving limit.
The inquest heard Paul had not recovered since his younger sister, TV presenter Caroline Flack, died in 2020. Caroline took her own life at age 40, fearing press intrusion before her trial.
Paul also struggled with his father's dementia and difficulty finding work as a graphic designer. The coroner gave a narrative conclusion, finding his intent was unknown.
