The family of Alice Webb, the first woman in the UK to die from a liquid Brazilian butt lift, has said their “fight for justice” continues following the death of the self-titled “Lip King”Jordan James Parke.
Parke, whose family says he passed away last week, had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following Alice’s death. He was never charged with an offence.
Webb, a mum-of-five from Gloucestershire, had the liquid BBL in September 2024.
She became unwell during the procedure and was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, where she died, aged 33. Webb’s sister, April, spoke to ITV News on behalf of her family.
She said: “We have heard the news that Jordan Parke has died. This brings mixed emotions, as it inevitably reminds us of the deeply painful loss of Alice.
“While we will never see him face trial, our fight for justice for Alice continues.
“We remain committed to campaigning for stricter regulations to prevent tragedies like Alice’s.
“Our focus remains on honouring Alice’s memory and advocating for meaningful change.”
Parke was a beautician from the West Midlands who appeared twice on the reality TV show, Botched.
He told ITV’s This Morning he was “obsessed” with cosmetic surgery and had had multiple procedures.
Tributes on social media say his family is “numb, shocked, and heartbroken.”

Parke was due to answer bail in March 2026.
A liquid BBL involves large quantities of cosmetic filler being injected into the buttocks to make the bum look bigger.
Last week, Alice’s former partner Ben Kingscote told ITV News the government needs to introduce laws that restrict who can perform these procedures.

Under government proposals to regulate the aesthetics industry, a filler BBL would fall in the “red category” of the highest-risk procedures.
That means only a qualified healthcare professional can perform it.
MPs recognise that this would be a “de facto ban” because of a “lack of appetite” amongst medical professionals to carry out the liquid BBL.
At the moment, though, there are no laws ruling who can or cannot legally provide the procedure.
