Botched star Jordan James Parke found dead at 34, investigation and arrests follow

Jordan James Parke, known for his appearance on the E! reality series Botched, has died at the age of 34.

According to reports from Entertainment Weekly, E! News, and the BBC, Parke was found unconscious on February 18 at Lincoln Plaza in the Canary Wharf area of London. Emergency responders attended the scene, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Authorities have described his death as “unexplained” and confirmed that an investigation is ongoing. Police are reviewing evidence suggesting Parke may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death, with post-mortem results pending.

The Metropolitan Police said two individuals—a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman—were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on February 20. Both have since been released on bail as inquiries continue.

Parke, who referred to himself as the “Lip King,” gained public attention for his extensive cosmetic transformations, reportedly spending around $150,000 to achieve a look inspired by Kim Kardashian. He openly discussed embracing attention and criticism, describing his appearance as intentionally dramatic.

He previously appeared on Botched seeking corrective procedures after complications from earlier treatments, including lip fillers. During his time on the show, surgeons advised against further cosmetic work.

In 2024, Parke was also arrested in connection with the death of a woman following a procedure at a clinic he co-owned, though he was not charged.

Following his passing, his sister shared a statement expressing shock and grief, asking the public to remember him positively amid potential online criticism.
