Parke previously made headlines when he was arrested in 2024 after Alice Webb, a mom of five, died at 33 after becoming unwell following a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift or “Liquid BBL” at a Gloucester clinic run by Parke and Jemma Pawlyszyn, per Daily Mail.
He was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, but was not charged. As reported by ITV News, he was due to answer bail this March.

Since starting his plastic surgery journey at age 19, Parke underwent dozen of cosmetic procedures, including multiple nose jobs, filler in his neck, lips and jawline, a BBL and a chin implant.
In a 2016 interview on the British daytime show This Morning, Parke said he “never hated” himself, but over time, plastic surgery became a “hobby.” Before his death, he appeared on E!’s Botched twice to address his lip filler and later his liposuction and the appearance of his nose.
Parke’s sister Sharnelle wrote on Instagram that their family is “numb, shocked and heartbroken” over his death in a tribute on Instagram.
