The Metropolitan Police have arrested a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of Jordan James Parke, also known as the “Lip King.” Both suspects were detained on Friday, 20 February, but have since been released on bail as the investigation continues.
Emergency services were called to Lincoln Plaza in Canary Wharf on Wednesday, 18 February, following reports of an unconscious man. Paramedics and police officers arrived at the scene to find Parke, aged 34, who was sadly pronounced dead.
Police believe that Parke’s death may be linked to a cosmetic procedure that was being carried out at the time.
