The Tragic Final Days of Caroline Flack
Caroline Flack, the former Love Island presenter who took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40 while awaiting trial for alleged assault on her boyfriend Lewis Burton, left behind a trove of distressing voicenotes and texts. These intimate messages have been made public for the first time as part of a new Disney+ documentary titled “Caroline Flack: The Search for the Truth.” The documentary, which will be split into two parts, aims to provide insight into the events leading up to her death.
A Mother’s Mission
Christine, Caroline’s mother, is at the heart of this groundbreaking project. In a poignant trailer from the documentary, she can be heard reflecting on her daughter’s final moments, sharing that Caroline had felt “the lowest I’ve ever felt” and expressed despair over not seeing any way out of the situation. Christine Flack has decided to share these untold stories to seek justice for her daughter, stating, “I’ve got nothing to lose.
The worst thing in the world has happened.” She adds, “But now, I’ve got nothing to lose. The worst thing in the world happened with losing Carrie.”
The Media Storm
Following Caroline’s arrest in 2019, she became the target of a relentless media storm, which significantly impacted her mental health. In an interview, Christine explains how her daughter had been “vilified” by the press and online, contributing to her downward spiral. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police disclosed that they apologized to Flack’s family in 2023 after a review found there was no record of rationale regarding why they charged Caroline with assault by beating instead of issuing a caution as recommended by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Documentary Details and Release Date
The documentary, “Caroline Flack: The Search for the Truth,” will delve into the events surrounding Caroline’s final months. Both episodes are set to be released on Disney+ on November 10, 2023. Christine revisits her daughter’s life through her eyes and shares new shocking details, asking difficult questions, and exposing failures from institutions that played a role in Caroline’s tragic end.
