A reality TV star dubbed the 'Lip King' was found dead last week, a year on from his arrested over a fatal cosmetic procedure.
Police said that Jordan James Parke, 34, was found unconscious in the Lincoln Plaza hotel in Canary Wharf, London, last Wednesday (18 February) before being pronounced dead at the scene.
His passing - which is currently being treated as 'unexplained' - led to the arrest of a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman on suspicion of manslaughter.
According to the BBC, police are 'reviewing information that suggests the victim may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death'.

A post-mortem examination will be held in due course to determine the official cause of Parke's sudden passing.
Parke was best known for his various appearances on reality TV shows such as Bodyshockers and Botched, where he detailed the wide array of cosmetic surgeries he had previously undergone.
The self-described 'plastic surgery advocate' also previously claimed he had spent £130,000 on various procedures during a 2016 appearance on This Morning.
He explained he had been somewhat inspired by Kim Kardashian, but had been 'obsessed with celebrity plastic surgery since a young age'.
Parke had gone under the knife for procedures such as a chin implant, several rounds of liposuction and nose jobs, while he also injected his face with Botox and fillers.
The 34-year-old's sister, Sharnelle Parke, announced in an Instagram post last week that he had died.
Saying her family had been left 'numb, shocked and heartbroken' by the news, Sharnelle wrote: "I simply have no words to even comprehend this.
"This is going to be the hardest post I will ever have to write. Our beautiful, funny most amazing Jordan James Parke passed away on Wednesday the 18th of February 2026.
"There will be some unkind messages that will be posted regarding this heartbreaking news but please if you knew Jordan you will know that none of what will be posted is true and please keep him in your heart!
"Jordan, I have no words to explain the sadness and heartbreak that we are feeling; you were our best friend, our whole world, our everything! We love you more than anything in the world!"
Sharnelle concluded the poignant post by adding: "The world feels so empty without you and I don’t know how we are going to carry on. Jordan we love you so much. I hope you are dancing in the sky with Nan and Granda."
The Met Police announced that a man, 43, and a woman, 52, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on Friday (20 February). They have since been bailed pending further investigation.
Parke's passing comes more than a year after he was also arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in relation to the death of mum-of-five Alice Webb.
The 33-year-old died in September 2024 after undergoing a procedure known as a liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL) at Parke's beauty salon in Gloucestershire.
The late reality star was not charged with any crime but was still on bail at the time of his death.
Webb's sister April told ITV News the family has been left with 'mixed emotions' in the wake of Parke's death, 'as it inevitably reminds us of the deeply painful loss of Alice'.
"While we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues," she told the publication. "We remain committed to campaigning for stricter regulations to prevent tragedies like Alice’s.
"Our focus remains on honouring Alice’s memory and advocating for meaningful change."
