A rep for Sam Sarpong said in a statement on the family’s behalf:
“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 authorities say they were alerted about a man on a bridge trying to attempt suicide. Family members were also called to the scene where they “provided background regarding his emotional state.” Unfortunately after hours of trying to talk him off the bridge, Sarpong still decided to take his own life.
