Actor/MTV star Sam Sarpong dies after falling from bridge in California

The MTV star Sam Sarpong has died after falling from a bridge in southern California.
Police in Pasadena spent seven hours attempting to talk the 40-year-old star down from the ledge.
Los Angeles County Coroner’s office said the case was being investigated as a possible suicide but the cause of death would not be determined till the results of a toxicology test are released.

The British born actor and television personality moved to the US and forged a succesful career as catwalk model, working for Tommy Hilfiger, Gucci and Versace and became Louis Vuitton’s first black male model.
The older brother of Loose Women star June Sarpong later moved into acting and appeared in over 75 films and TV shows according to the IMDb. He is most famous for his work hosting Yo Mamma, a youth comedy show which aired on MTV between 2006 and 2007.
May his soul rest in peace.
