It was very sad to read the news, in March, that the host of Love Island, Caroline Flack, committed suicide. Any suicide is a tragedy both for the person who died, and for the ripples of pain of unanswered questions that spread out to the wider family and friends.
It would seem that (after the domestic violence incident at her home) Caroline Flack simply couldn’t face living when she was rejected by so many of her social-media followers.
Newspaper headlines like ‘Caroline Whack’ would have undoubtedly added to her sorrow. In her last Instagram message, which was not published until after her death, she said: ‘My whole world and future was swept from under my feet and my future collapsed’. It seems family and friends were not enough to console her. It seems that she was not just understandably devastated and broken by the unpleasant social-media hype – she felt so finished by it, that her life was now not worth living.
