Her mum, Christine Flack, has called for a reinvestigation after she made a complaint her daughter was treated differently by police due to her fame.
She told the BBC: "I just want those answers to make me feel better and to make me know that I've done the right thing by Caroline."
The grieving mother said she feels the decision to charge her daughter contributed to her death.
She said: "She couldn't see a way out.
"I just want the truth out there. And it won't bring her back. I know it won't bring it back. But I've got to do it for her."
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police (MPS) told the BBC that the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) had instructed the MPS to reinvestigate the aspect of an old complaint.
They said: "Following a review, the IOPC agreed with the MPS that service was acceptable in relation to seven areas of the complaints relating to the response and handling of the incident by the MPS.
"The IOPC has directed the MPS to reinvestigate one element of the complaints. This relates to the process involved in appealing the CPS decision to caution Ms Flack.
"We will re-examine this element of the investigative process. Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Caroline's family."
