The investigation into the death of Caroline Flack and the charges brought against her have been closed. The IOPC has confirmed that the investigation relating to the actions of officers appealing to the CPS was closed in January, and the outcome had been "reasonable and proportionate".
Flack was charged with assault by beating in December 2019 after allegedly assaulting her then-boyfriend, Lewis Burton. She tragically took her own life in February 2020.
The IOPC reviewed her case after Caroline's mother believed that her celebrity status had likely influenced the decision to charge her. The IOPC received a complaint referral from London's Metropolitan Police, which involved "a number of allegations about the force's investigation" into the alleged assault in March last year.
