June Sarpong admits there were ‘no warning signs’ as she opens up about brother’s tragic death for first time

June Sarpong has opened up about her brother’s tragic suicide for the first time.

Making her return to Loose Women on Thursday, the TV star paid an emotional tribute to Sam, admitting that there were ‘no warning signs’ ahead of his death.

“It’s horrible, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I mean it’s been such a tough time for my family and I. 2015 was the worst year of our lives, like the worst, nobody could ever have predicted this,” she told the panel.

“He’d given no signs, this is the person that you would never associate this with, I mean the last.

“In a world full of seven billion people, I feel so blessed to be able to say that my favourite person in the world was my brother.

“I mean he was so good. He was such a kind human being who just loved people and who treated everybody the same and was the life and soul of the party and whenever you had a problem he was the guy you turn to.”

“When I tell you, we were shell shocked because there were no signs, [there was] nothing that could lead anybody to believe that this was even possible.”

Speaking about the sad day that the DJ took his own life last year, Sarpong admitted that she believed something ‘just took over his mind.’

“He wasn’t on medication, he doesn't even drink. All we know that on the day it happened, something just took over his mind,” she said.

“So the Sammy that we knew was not that boy on the bridge, the person that jumped off the bridge was not the man that we had loved for over 40 years.

“It was a moment of mad.., something just went off and he lost complete control over his mind.”

Sam Sarpong, 40, jumped to his death from the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena in October last year.
