The Metropolitan Police were alerted by the London Ambulance Service regarding an unconscious man, and Parke was pronounced dead at the scene.

Following Parke's death, two individuals—a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman—were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. They have since been released on bail as the investigation continues. This incident follows a previous arrest of Parke in September 2024, when he was suspected of manslaughter related to the death of Alice Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five, who died after undergoing a liquid Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedure at Parke's clinic in Gloucestershire. Webb's death was reported as the first in the UK linked to this non-surgical procedure.
