Now countless news agencies have confirmed the tragedy.
Caroline had recently returned to the UK after spending some time in LA, where she was reportedly taking a wellness break.
She traveled to the US after stepping down from her position as Love Island host.
Flack was due to stand trial on March 4 after pleading not guilty to assault.
She was accused of beating her boyfriend Lewis Burton during an early morning altercation.
Just yesterday Lewis confirmed the pair were still together, sharing a photo of them together.
A lawyer representing Flack later confirmed that she had taken her own life.
Our thoughts go out to Caroline’s friends and family at this hard time.
Rest in peace.
