The TV presenter Caroline Flack has ben found dead at her home in London.

She recently lost her job as a presenter of Love Island after charges of assaulting her boyfriend were made.

She was due to face trial in a few weeks

She was only 40. Such a tragedy.

R.I.P Caroline. Thoughts are with family and friends.

Now without poisoning the well here.. There's controversy surrounding the outpouring of grief considering she was due in court in March on domestic abuse charges. Had this been a fella up on charges & committed suicide it would've been good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

No one deserves to be in a position where suicide seems the only option, but I can't help feeling that an 'alleged' male abuser wouldn't have been afforded the same level of sympathy.

 

And as I've said elsewhere, a sad time for the family.

Ironically, the police were the ones pressing charges as the boyfriend didn't want to pursue it.

Conditions of her bail were that she wasn't allowed to contact the boyfriend but it was he who raised the alarm when he couldn't contact her.

Suicide is a terrible thing but for some it's to end pain and despair about the future. It was her choice and the press need to take a hard look at themselves when they hound someone and think that it gives them licence to print all manner of things in order to sell newspapers.

I'm sure e have all done things we aren't proud of but we aren't subject to character assassinations by people with big shovels to keep digging the dirt.

They love to big people up in order to later bring them down. I know some people crave the limelight and we are to expect them to take the rough with the smooth but not when it leads to such tragic events as happened today. RIP Caroline.

If I'm correct it was Caroline herself who decided to step away from Love Island, although she may have had no choice in the matter knowing that the police were going to press charges.

 

We never know what's going through anyones mind when they decide to end their life. So I'm not judging her at all.

 

I just feel so sorry for those left behind to grieve and probably blame themselves.  Such a tragedy.

I don't watch reality shows there seems to be a lot of stress and unhappiness as well as nastiness. Followed sometimes in ending a life.
