Remembering Jordan James Parke: The ‘Lip King’ and ‘Botched’ fan-favourite dies at 34

Jordan James Parke, widely known as the self-proclaimed “Lip King” and a former patient of the cosmetic reality show “Botched”, has died at the age of 34.

Parke’s death was reportedly confirmed by the Metropolitan Police in London, who said they were called to the Lincoln Plaza near the Canary Wharf neighbourhood on February 18 over reports of an unconscious person.

Paramedics attended the scene, where Parke was pronounced dead.

Authorities have stated that his death is currently being treated as unexplained, with an investigation underway to determine the full circumstances. 

According to reports, police are reviewing information suggesting that Parke may have been undergoing a cosmetic procedure before his death. 

The official cause of death has not yet been confirmed, and investigators are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination.

In connection with the case, a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter (culpable homicide). Both have since been released on bail pending further investigation.

Parke rose to fame for his dramatic cosmetic transformation, having reportedly spent more than $150,000 on procedures in an effort to look like Kim Kardashian.

He became known online for his exaggerated lip fillers, which earned him the nickname “Lip King”.

He began undergoing cosmetic procedures at the age of 19 and later described plastic surgery as something that became a personal obsession rather than an expression of self-hate. 

Over the years, he underwent numerous procedures, including multiple nose jobs, lip and facial fillers, liposuction, a chin implant and a Brazilian butt lift.

Parke appeared on “Botched” twice, first to address complications related to excessive lip filler and later to seek help for further cosmetic concerns, including the appearance of his nose following surgery.

His family has since spoken out following his death. Parke’s sister confirmed his death in a post shared on Instagram.

In an emotional statement, she wrote: “I simply have no words to even comprehend this. This is going to be the hardest post I will ever have to write.

“Our beautiful, funny, most amazing Jordan James Parke passed away on Wednesday, the 18th of February 2026. We as a family are numb, shocked and heartbroken.

“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!”
