London – A British social media influencer who spent over €125,000 on cosmetic surgery in an attempt to resemble Kim Kardashian has died, according to reports. The death of Jordan James Parke, 34, is currently being investigated by police.
Authorities were called to the Lincoln Plaza hotel in London’s Canary Wharf district on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, where Parke was pronounced dead. Two men, aged 43 and 52, were initially arrested on suspicion of manslaughter but have since been released on bail pending further investigation, EuropeSays.com reported.
Parke, known online as ‘Lip King,’ had undergone numerous cosmetic procedures since the age of 19, including multiple nose jobs, fillers in his lips, neck, and jawline, a chin implant, and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). In a 2016 interview, Parke stated he had never “hated” himself, but that plastic surgery had become a “hobby” over time.
The influencer also co-owned a beauty clinic in Gloucester. In 2024, he was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of one of his patients, Alice Webb, a mother of five, who fell ill after a non-surgical buttock augmentation procedure, also known as a ‘Liquid BBL’. Parke was released on bail at that time and was scheduled to appear in court in March, but that case has now been closed due to his death.
According to De Krantenkoppen, police are currently treating Parke’s death as “unexplained.” The case highlights the growing risks associated with cosmetic surgery and the pressures faced by individuals seeking to achieve idealized appearances through medical intervention.
CNews also reported on the influencer’s death, noting his obsession with replicating the look of Kim Kardashian.
