Default Model/Actor Sam Sarpong takes his own life, aged 40

Sam Sarpong has died at the age of 40 in Pasadena, California.

Brother to UK presenter June, Sam was an actor, model and also hosted MTV show Yo Momma in 2006 alongside That '70s Show's Wilmer Valderrama. It has been reported that he took his own life.


Sam's rep said in a statement: "It is with great sadness that the family of Samuel Sarpong Jr must share the news that Sam has passed away.

"The family appreciates the thoughts, prayers and other expressions of sympathy, and request their privacy be respected at this extremely difficult time."

Pasadena police confirmed that Sam tragically jumped from a bridge after seven hours of communication at the scene with his family.

British-American Sam was well known in the US, where he modelled as the face for Tommy Hilfiger for numerous years.

He had acting roles in TV shows including 24, Everybody Hates Chris, Bones, My So-Called Life, Veronica Mars and American Crime Story.

Sam also starred in the 2003 movie Love Don't Cost a Thing with Nick Cannon and Christina Milian.

That's tragic.

Seven hours with his family before jumping. I can't imagine.

I hope his family are okay, it's such a shame that this wasn't prevented. Can't imagine how much life must have sucked for him to want to do this.
