Unearthed Footage Reveals Flack's Final Days
A powerful new documentary, Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth, examines the tragic circumstances surrounding the beloved TV presenter's death in February 2020. The film features never-before-seen video footage that Flack herself recorded just days before she died, providing a raw and heartbreaking insight into her state of mind.
Escalating Anxiety Following Arrest
The unearthed material shows Flack speaking openly about her profound distress at losing her job and the torrent of public abuse she faced following her arrest. The documentary also features Flack's mother, Christine, who examines deeply personal content from her daughter's phone, including voice notes and text messages that chart her escalating anxiety and inner turmoil in the weeks leading up to her death.
A coroner later ruled that Flack took her own life after learning that prosecutors would proceed with an assault charge. This charge stemmed from an incident involving her boyfriend.
Official Responses and Lasting Legacy
In the aftermath, The Metropolitan Police apologised for its failure to record the rationale behind the decision to charge Flack. Conversely, the Crown Prosecution Service has stated that it believes its decisions were correct, based on the medical opinion available at the time.
