The death of former “Love Island” host Caroline Flack has sparked a number of petitions calling for changes to UK laws regarding how the media operate and to ensure that the mental health and human rights of celebrities are respected.

Flack took her own life on Feb. 15 at the age of 40. Her body was reportedly found by her father in her east London flat. The ITV host was due to stand trial at Highbury magistrates court on March 4 where she faced domestic violence offenses after being accused of an attack on her boyfriend Lewis Burton on Dec. 12 at a flat in Islington, north London. She had denied the charge.
