Over five years later, and there are still questions surrounding Caroline’s death.
In December 2019, a few months before Caroline died in February 2020, she was charged with assault against her then-boyfriend, tennis player Lewis Burton.
She pleaded not guilty and was set to stand trial for the incident in March 2020, but she died before it could happen. Rumors swirled for years regarding the stability of the former couple’s relationship, as there were reports of Lewis cheating and frequent arguments between them.
Hulu’s two-part documentary on the star, ‘Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth,’ is currently streaming and follows her mother, Christine Callis, as she searches for answers.
“We’ve got to remember that Christine has independently done this research,” the documentary’s director Christian Collerton said of Caroline’s mother, according to The Independent. “This is her investigation; she did this before we were even on the scene. It really is her work.”
Per People, following her death, the Poplar Coroner's Court ruled that while Caroline’s "fluctuating" mental health and the "prospect of not working in the job she loved" were a factor in her death, the impending assault trial she was facing was the reason for her death.
In an August 2020 interview with Sky News, Mary Hasell, the coroner in the case, echoed the same sentiments as the court.
"I find the reason for her taking her life was she now knew she was being prosecuted for certainty, and she knew she would face the media, press, publicity — it would all come down upon her. To me, that's it in essence," she told the outlet at the time.
According to The Sun, the night before she died, the paramedics were called to Caroline’s home, where she underwent a medical assessment and was cleared to be left at home alone.
“Crews attended and, following a clinical assessment, the person was not taken to hospital,” a medical spokesperson said at the time, per the outlet. “Due to patient confidentiality, we cannot comment further.”
Less than 24 hours later, Caroline was found dead in her apartment, and attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.
