Jordan James Parke, the self-proclaimed “Lip King” from the E! reality series Botched, has died at 34, following a cosmetic procedure to resemble Kim Kardashian.
British authorities responded to an emergency call on February 18, 2026, at Lincoln Plaza in Canary Wharf, London, where the Manchester native was found unconscious and pronounced dead at the scene.
According to E!, London’s Metropolitan Police have classified the death as “unexplained,” with inquiries suggesting a link to a recent cosmetic treatment. A post-mortem is pending.
Two people, a 43-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on February 20 but released on bail pending further investigation.
Parke, originally from Dudley, England, gained fame for extreme transformations inspired by Kim Kardashian, whom he called “the most beautiful woman ever.”
He reportedly spent over Sh19m ($150,000) on surgeries from age 19, including multiple rhinoplasties, lip, jawline, and neck fillers, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), and a chin implant.
He shared his cosmetic journey on Botched, the TV series that follows plastic surgery disasters corrected by Drs. Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif. Nicknamed for his exaggerated lips, Parke embraced the “plastic” aesthetic, once saying, “I chuckle when people say I look fake, do they think I want natural? I’d demand a refund.”
Parke’s online persona combined bravado with vulnerability, openly discussing body dysmorphia while attracting millions of followers.
Despite fame, his career was marred by controversy.
In 2024, Emily Webb, a 33-year-old mother of five, allegedly died from a non-surgical BBL at his Gloucester clinic. Parke was released without charges but remained under bail conditions into 2026, insisting he had “fully insured” the procedure.
Known for his fearless approach to fillers and fame, Parke embodied the extremes of cosmetic culture. Fans have mourned a figure who lived unapologetically, sharing tributes online to the “Lip King” who embraced life on his own terms.
