Former “Love Island” star Caroline Flack died by hanging herself in her London home, a court heard on Wednesday.
Police had been flagged down outside the 40-year-old’s home in Stoke Newington and found her lying on her back inside, Poplar’s Coroner’s Court was told.
“She had apparently been found hanging,” coroner’s officer Sandra Polson told the hearing into the cause of death.
Police attempted resuscitation, with paramedics soon taking over in the attempt to save her on Saturday afternoon.
Flack was pronounced dead at 2:36 p.m. at the scene. Her twin sister, Jody, later identified her, the court heard.
An autopsy determined that the cause of death was suspension by ligature, Polson said. The inquest was adjourned until Aug. 5.
The death by suicide came a day after prosecutors told Flack that she was being charged with domestic violence, even though her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, asked them to drop the case.
Shortly after the court hearing concluded Wednesday, Burton, 27, posted a photo of the pair together along with a broken-heart symbol.
Flack’s family had earlier Wednesday shared a heartbreaking final message she planned to post to Instagram complaining that her “whole world and future was swept from under my feet” over the arrest.
“I have always taken responsibility for what happened that night,” she wrote of the fight in December that left the pair so bloody, police have compared it to a “horror movie.”
“But the truth is … It was an accident,” she wrote, saying she had been “having some sort of emotional breakdown for a very long time.”
Her mom, Chris Flack, told the Eastern Daily Press that her daughter wrote the message but was advised not to post it at the time.
“It was describing how she was feeling and what she had gone through — no more than that. It was not blaming anyone or pointing any fingers,” the heartbroken mom said.
“Carrie was surrounded by love and friends but this was just too much for her.”
