The Metropolitan Police Service will face no further investigation for its conduct in the run-up to Caroline Flack's death.
The 40-year-old former Love Island presenter took her own life on Saturday, February 15, 18 days before she was due to stand trial for an alleged assault following an incident involving her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, back in December.
She was charged with assault by beating of the 27-year-old, an accusation she denied when she appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court just before Christmas.
Lewis stood by and supported Caroline, though the pair were not permitted to see one another while the legal case was ongoing.
After her death, the Metropolitan Police Service made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) following a review by its Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) of all previous police contact with the TV star.
The force said it is routine practice for a referral to be made to the IOPC when a member of the public dies, or is seriously hurt, and has had recent contact with the police.
A statement said: "The IOPC, having independently assessed the circumstances, has informed the MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] and Ms Flack’s family that an IOPC investigation is not required.
"The IOPC said it does not consider it reasonable or proportionate based on the evidence provided to suggest officer involvement caused or contributed to Ms Flack’s death.
"The IOPC has referred the matter back to the MPS for the DPS to decide whether any further investigation or review into the circumstances is needed.
"The DPS has concluded that a formal investigation is not required.
"A comprehensive review of the circumstances surrounding all police contact with Ms Flack following her arrest and detention has already taken place as part of the referral process.
"No conduct has been identified on the part of any officer. In line with normal processes, if any new information should come to light it will be considered and action taken as appropriate.
"The MPS continues to offer every assistance to the coroner."
Caroline Flack's cause of death was confirmed as hanging by the coroner at the inquest to her death on Wednesday, February 19.
