Jordan James Parke, widely known for his appearance on the E! reality show Botched, has died at 34.
The Metropolitan Police said they received a call from the London Ambulance Service following reports of an unconscious man on Lincoln Plaza, Canary Wharf in east London, on Wednesday, February 18, at 12:38 GMT, according to the BBC. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities in London are investigating his death, which is currently being treated as “unexplained” and may be linked to Parke going under the knife. Police are currently “reviewing information that suggests the victim may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death” and are waiting for the results of a post-mortem examination.
In another recent development on Friday, February 20, two people were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter: a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman. (Both have been released from custody on bail pending further investigation.)

Parke’s sister Sharnelle said the family is “numb, shocked and heartbroken” in the wake of his sudden death, adding, “There will be some unkind messages that will be posted regarding this heartbreaking news … but please if you knew Jordan you will know that none of what will be posted is true and please keep him in your heart!”
The British influencer, also recognized as the self-proclaimed “Lip King,” built a headline-making persona around his physical transformation, having spent more than $150,000 on plastic surgery in pursuit of his ideal image.
A woman accused of posing as a doctor performed a Brazilian butt lift that “nearly killed” a 46-year-old, who needed multiple surgeries to treat a life-threatening infection that followed her procedure, according to prosecutors. Nargiza Shukurova, 39, of Uzbekistan, performed the BBL without a medical license at Fleur de Beaute Salon in Brooklyn, New York, […]
Parkle notably appeared on Botched to treat leaking lip filler in 2015, returning to the show again in 2019 with hopes of getting liposuction and a fourth nose job. Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Terry Dubrow declined to operate and strongly suggested that Parke avoid any future plastic surgery procedures.
The reality TV alum addressed misconceptions about himself during a 2016 interview on the British daytime show This Morning, clarifying that he “never hated” himself and viewed his transformation as more of a “hobby.”
Prior to his death, Parke found himself caught up in controversy in late 2024 when he was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a woman died following a non-surgical liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedure. (Parke was ultimately not charged with any crime, but was due to answer bail in March 2026.)
Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini reportedly went into cardiac arrest and died hours after undergoing plastic surgery. The influencer and singer allegedly traveled with her husband, Elgar Miles, from Mozambique to Istanbul to receive a breast augmentation, liposuction and a nose job. Miles told Brazilian news outlet O Tempo that she was having the procedures done […]
The procedure — using dermal filler to enhance the size of her bottom — was done in September 2024 at a Gloucester clinic run by Parke and Jemma Pawlyszyn, per Daily Mail.

Parke told the outlet that October that he was “fully qualified and insured to carry out the procedure” on Alice Webb, a mom of five.
Webb’s sister spoke to ITV News after Parke’s death, stating, “We have heard the news that Jordan Parke has died. This brings mixed emotions, as it inevitably reminds us of the deeply painful loss of Alice.”
“While we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues,” she added. “We remain committed to campaigning for stricter regulations to prevent tragedies like Alice’s. Our focus remains on honouring Alice’s memory and advocating for meaningful change.”
