Police are investigating whether Jordan James Parke died during a cosmetic procedure

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the death of a man who may have recently undergone a cosmetic procedure, police have said.

It is understood the alleged victim is Jordan James Parke, 34, dubbed the "British Lip King", who had appeared on television shows to discuss cosmetic surgery he had previously undergone and had faced criticism over his cosmetics business.

The Metropolitan Police said it had been called by London Ambulance Service to reports of an unconscious man on Lincoln Plaza, Canary Wharf in east London, on Wednesday, at 12:38 GMT.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and his death is currently being treated as "unexplained", the force said.

On Friday, a 43-year-old man, and a woman, 52, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and were released on bail pending further investigation, police added.

A Met spokesperson said his death was currently being treated as unexplained, and an investigation to establish the full circumstances was ongoing.

The spokesperson added officers were "reviewing information that suggests the victim may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure prior to his death" and were waiting for the results of a post-mortem examination, which would be held in due course.

In October, a BBC investigation reported that Parke had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a woman died following a non-surgical BBL procedure. He had not been charged.

The investigation also found he had been illegally selling prescription-only weight-loss injections online.
