Family of BBL Victim Express Mixed Emotions After 'Lip King' Jordan Parke's Death
The family of Alice Webb, a mother-of-five who tragically died following a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, have spoken of their mixed emotions following the death of reality TV personality Jordan Parke, known as 'The Lip King'. Parke, who was arrested in connection with Alice's death, passed away before facing trial, leaving her family with unresolved questions.
Details of the Case and Recent Developments
Jordan Parke, a 34-year-old beautician from Dudley in the West Midlands, was found deceased in a hotel on Wednesday, 18 February. His death is suspected to be linked to a cosmetic procedure, and he was on bail at the time over the death of Alice Webb, who died in September 2024 at age 33. Alice was the first woman in the UK to die from a BBL, highlighting significant risks in the cosmetic surgery industry.
In a new twist, police have arrested a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with Parke's death. These individuals have been bailed pending further investigation, as authorities treat Parke's death as unexplained and await post-mortem results.
Family's Statement and Ongoing Campaign
Alice Webb's sister, April, spoke to ITV, expressing the family's complex feelings. We have heard the news that Jordan Parke has died, she said. This brings mixed emotions, as it inevitably reminds us of the deeply painful loss of Alice. Whilst we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues.
The family remains committed to campaigning for stricter regulations in the cosmetic procedure sector to prevent similar tragedies. Our focus remains on honouring Alice's memory and advocating for meaningful change, April added, underscoring their dedication to raising awareness and improving safety standards.
Background on Jordan Parke and Police Investigation
Jordan Parke had gained fame through appearances on the reality TV show Botched, where he showcased his work as a beautician. Tributes from his family on social media describe them as numb, shocked, and heartbroken by his sudden passing.
The Metropolitan Police provided details of the incident, stating that officers were called to Lincoln Plaza in Canary Wharf after reports of an unconscious man. Parke was declared dead at the scene, and his next of kin have been informed. The investigation is ongoing, with officers reviewing information that suggests he may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death.
Parke was due to answer bail in March 2026 regarding Alice Webb's case, but he was never formally charged with any offence. This leaves Alice's family without closure through the legal system, fueling their determination to seek justice through other means.
