A lawyer for Caroline's family said she'd taken her own life after she had been "under huge pressure."
Caroline was due to stand trial next month after it was alleged that she assaulted her boyfriend Lewis Burton 27, at her flat in Islington, north London.
Caroline - who stepped down from her Love Island post for the ITV2 show’s first winter series - had denied the assault charge and was due to face trial on March 4.
Her friend and colleague Laura Whitmore is currently fronting show.
An ITV spokesperson said on Sunday: “Many people at ITV knew Caroline well and held her in great affection. All of us are absolutely devastated at this tragic news.
“After careful consultation between Caroline’s representatives and the Love Island production team and given how close we still are to the news of Caroline’s tragic death we have decided not to broadcast tonight’s Love Island out of respect for Caroline’s family.”
Love Island will return tonight at 9pm with a tribute to Caroline.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-02-17--How Odion Ighalo has already given Manchester United a boost

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given the strongest indication yet that Odion Ighalo will feature for Manchester United against Chelsea — after admitting it 's been a boost to finally integrate the new striker in training .

That 's after the former Watford striker joined United on January deadline day on a loan deal from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season .
Solskjaer told MUTV that he feels Ighalo could be ready to make an immediate impact .
“ Yes , this weekend he [ saw the ] boys .
Again , that ’ s going to be great for us , to not just add an extra body , but a personality , someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goals , '' he said .
`` It gives the group a boost.

`` If you come on and score a goal you ’ ve done it and you ’ ve proven to everyone what you ’ re about .

In 2016, Khan was jailed for five years after he and three others tortured a teenager.
The boy was burned with a hot iron and had lemon juice poured on his blistered skin during the sickening incident in October 2015.
The victim suffered horrific injuries after being lured to a house in the Werneth area of Oldham, where he was tied up with tape around his mouth, hands and feet.
He was repeatedly punched and kicked and scissors were used to cut his hair.
His attackers then stripped him of his clothing and took a knife to his back.
They used a hot iron to burn him on his buttocks, back and stomach and poured salt and lemon juice onto the burns.

The public will be able to conduct coronavirus antibody tests at home within a matter of days, rather than weeks and months, MPs have heard.
Professor Sharon Peacock, director of the National Infection Service, Public Health England (PHE) told the Science and Technology Committee that 3.5 million tests had been bought and would be available in the “near future”.

Prince Charles’s office told ITV's royal correspondent Chris Ship: "It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.
"He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home."
He is the first senior member of the Royal family to test positive for the virus.
His wife, Camilla, meanwhile has tested negative.
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson yielded to the mounting pressure to order a widespread lockdown in the UK after thousands of people ignored calls for 'social distancing' to slow the coronavirus pandemic.
His announcement on Monday night means all shops are now shut - apart from those selling food and pharmacies - in a bid to keep people at home to slow the spread of the virus.
Mr Johnson urged people to stay home and only leave the house for one of the following reasons: shopping for basic necessities; one form of exercise a day; a medical need; travelling to work if absolutely necessary.
There have been 335 deaths from coronavirus in the UK and 6,650 confirmed cases, although the true figure is likely to be much higher as widespread testing is not taking place.

To everyone who has called, visited or sent well wishes we thank you for the love and respect shown to Harry and the family. Details of his funeral arrangement will be issued in the next few days."
Gregg joined United in December 1957, just two months before the disaster in Munich, and became a hero that night in Germany as he pulled teammates from the wreckage including Sir Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viollet.
He also helped Vera Lukic, the wife of a Yugoslavian diplomat who was pregnant at the time, and her two-year-old daughter.
Despite his heroics, the Northern Irishman played down his hero label.
"Professor Maurer (head of Munich hospital) and his staff saved a lot of lives. I know what I did. I know what I saw," he told the BBC in 2018.
Gregg was determined the tragic event of February 6, 1958 would not define his career or life and he went on to keep a clean sheet as United beat Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup just two weeks later and four months later he was voted best goalkeeper in the world after starring for Northern Ireland at the World Cup finals in Sweden.
The former goalkeeper played 247 times for United is regarded as a legend at the club. "It is with deepest sadness that we have learned of the passing of former player Harry Gregg OBE. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the club go out to Harry’s family and friends," a statement read from United on Monday morning.
Sir Bobby Charlton, who Gregg played alongside, paid tribute to the former goalkeeper.
"Lady Norma and I are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Harry Gregg,” he said. "I was proud to call him a team-mate. For all the matter of fact things Harry said about that night in Munich, for me, he will always be remembered as a heroic figure.
"It’s incredible to think that he went on to play in a match against Sheffield Wednesday just 13 days after that tragic night. A shining light both on and off the pitch. For so many reasons, he deserves to be remembered as one of the greatest names in Manchester United’s history.
“Harry will be deeply missed and our thoughts are with Carolyn and his family at this very sad time.”
Sir Alex Ferguson also echoed the sentiments. The former United manager said: “I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Harry Gregg.
“Harry was a man of great character and a true legend at our club. I remember that he was always very excited and proud to host our youth team at his boarding house for the Milk Cup every summer, so he could recount the tales of his playing days. I loved his company and the many pieces of advice he gave me.
“My thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn and his family at this very sad time. God bless Harry.”
Former players and current coaching staff took to social media to pay their respects and share stories of the club great on social media.
