Officers reviewing information about a possible cosmetic procedure; post-mortem pending

Police said officers were reviewing information that suggests the victim may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death and that they were awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination, which will be held in due course.

Parke, the Lip King, his public profile and an earlier investigation

The alleged victim has been named as Jordan James Parke, 34, who has been dubbed the "British Lip King". Parke had appeared on television shows to discuss cosmetic surgery he had previously undergone and had faced criticism over his cosmetics business. In October, an investigation found that Parke had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a woman named Alice Webb died following a non-surgical BBL procedure; he had not been charged. That same investigation also found he had been illegally selling prescription-only weight-loss injections online.
