so it was last saturday when news broke of the death of tv presenter caroline flack, just weeks before she was supposed to stand trial for assaulting her boyfriend, a charge she denied. in court in december it was clear. she was deeply distressed. today, she was found dead at her flat. her lawyer said she'd ta ken her own life. friends and colleagues have spoken of their shock and heartbreak at the news. tonight, thousands were expressing their grief and sympathy. and caroline flack‘s death stayed in the news headlines for the next few days. on monday, the last photograph of her before she died was posted on a friend's instagram account and picked up by broadcasters, including the bbc, prompting this reaction from joanna hicks. it showed her just wearing a nightie. it looked to be a very personalm private moment, and not one she would have wanted to be shared. the news item didn't really add any more detail to what had happened to caroline, and so i feel the inclusion of the image was there just for viewers‘ intrigue, so we could all see the final moments of her life. i can't believe t
