Awful news. Poor woman, so sad to think she felt so alone. Thoughts with her family.

tessiegirl · 15/02/2020 18:09

Bloody hell. This is so sad Sad

gypsywater · 15/02/2020 18:09

@MitziK you're all heart arent you!

SoupDragon · 15/02/2020 18:10

Was that really necessary, MitziK?

hannabarbera · 15/02/2020 18:10

Poor girl. Never watched Love Island (pile if shite) but came across as a bubbly girl with her life ahead of her.

Trial by media😡

MissEliza · 15/02/2020 18:10

Omg it's so sad.

AnotherDFSsale · 15/02/2020 18:10

Nobody knows what happened that night in her flat. How does anyone know that he didn't attack her first? Drugs were involved. It's just a tragedy

GrockleRock · 15/02/2020 18:10

No

EuroMillionsWinner · 15/02/2020 18:10

Apparently her bloke didn't even want to press charges so not sure why they were still going ahead

A lot of abused people don't want to press charges against their abuser Sad. She also allegedly abused a previous boyfriend.

HairyFloppins · 15/02/2020 18:10

Such a shame. Poor lady.

Mixingitall · 15/02/2020 18:11

It is very sad. RIP Caroline and awful news for her family and friends.

All celebrities court the media to their own advantage. Sadly she was arrested and the media reported on that. That was weeks ago and yesterday’s news. Caroline was clearly troubled, the press and social media cannot be blamed for that. We are in control of our actions and lives. Sadly Caroline is no longer with us.

UserV · 15/02/2020 18:11

I am not even a fan, and I want to cry. Sad

LoveNote · 15/02/2020 18:12

Christ I didn’t read lose police were continuing to prosecute

As an ex met officer myself there must be do much more to what she did than we know ☹️

Itsacakebaby · 15/02/2020 18:13

So very sad and 40 is still no age atall.

Her poor family. May she RIP now.

gypsywater · 15/02/2020 18:13

@AnotherDFSsale Exactly. Noone knows the full details of all of that side of things. Whatever happened, the way she was treated by the media was horrendous and there was without a doubt a strong gender aspect to the coverage.

MidsomerBurgers · 15/02/2020 18:13

So sad. I feel for her family and friends.

Just had the 'confirmation' come through on my phone from the BBC.

doritosdip · 15/02/2020 18:14

the press didn’t force her to beat her boyfriend up. It’s ridiculous to blame them

The press crucified her. In a very markedly different way because of her sex.

Johnny Depp would disagree even though there is evidence of Amber being violent too.

40 is very young and it's very sad for her family and friends.

ChicChicChicChiclana · 15/02/2020 18:16

"The UK press literally hounded her to her death. Fucking cunts."

I don't agree with this comment. She was evidently very depressed and unwell. But the idea that the domestic violence story should not have been reported is dangerous and doesn't hold any water.

MissEliza · 15/02/2020 18:17

No one knows what happened between her and her boyfriend but I strongly believe everyone deserves a second chance. I would have hoped that she could have got through this period in her life and found happiness.

Aridane · 15/02/2020 18:19

Cue people clamouring over themselves to let us know that they don't know who she is

All of two posters...

Muddlingalongalone · 15/02/2020 18:19

Tragic - I'm not a fan & I think she's behaved strangely at various times over the last 10 years but the double standards & the hysteria have been horrendous with the DV issue.

Jano69 · 15/02/2020 18:19

Very upsetting indeed, shocked.

MitziK · 15/02/2020 18:20

@gypsywater and @SoupDragon.

I feel sorry for victims of domestic abuse. Which is why, hopefully, her boyfriend will get help to not feel responsible/guilty for this, to counteract the gaslighting domestic abuse victims suffer.
