TV presenter Caroline Flack’s brother has died, six years after the star committed suicide.
Paul Flack, 55, was found unconscious at his home in Sandringham Road, Norwich, on June 21. He later died at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, the inquest was told.
Earlier, an inquest into the death of the graphic designer began at Norfolk Coroner’s Court.
A full hearing will take place in October.
Norfolk Police said in a statement: “Officers were called to an ambulance following concerns for the safety of a man in his 50s at a house on Sandringham Road.
“He was taken by ambulance to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead at 10.44pm (June 21).

Flack was the older brother of Caroline, a former Love Island and X Factor presenter who was found dead at her home in Stoke Newington, London, on February 15, 2020.
An investigation later determined that she committed suicide at the age of 40 while standing trial on charges of assaulting her boyfriend.
The London inquest heard that Flack learned the day before her death that she would be prosecuted and feared press interference.
Her death has sparked a debate about online hate and the harm it can cause to people’s mental health.
Both siblings were born in London but grew up in Norfolk.
Organizers of Flackstock, a festival created to raise awareness of mental health in memory of the TV presenter, said they were “very heartbroken” by the news of her brother’s death.
In a statement on Instagram, the band said: “We loved Paul so much and this news has shocked us all. Paul was funny, kind and loving.”
“He had the best hugs and a brilliant laugh. We will miss him greatly.”
