This was after he was involved in a motorbike accident in Leigh Road, Canvey, UK. Denny had a massive passion for motorbikes and was riding one which was involved in a crash with a car. The accident claimed the life of the 17-year-old and it devastated his mother.
It is said that Ramplin couldn’t deal with the death of her son. She tried to find solace in alcohol but the pain wouldn’t go away. She told people several times that she would end her life to be with her son. One such instance was when she visited Denny’s grave on what would have been in 19th birthday alongside her sister Michelle Thompson.
Michelle related that Sam said “I’ll be there soon” while they were at Denny’s graveside. She cautioned her but it wasn’t enough to prevent what would happen roughly two months later. Sam Ramplin died on the 12th of January 2021 in Málaga, Spain where she had moved to after Denny’s death. She reportedly hanged herself in her home and the Spanish authorities confirmed this, specifying that the former model died of mechanical asphyxiation due to hanging.

Who Was the Husband of Late Sam Ramplin?
Sam Ramplin does not have a husband when she died: that was pretty obvious for anyone that followed the story of her passing. Nonetheless, the fact that she was survived by her daughter, Summer Richardson, and committed suicide to be with her son, left many asking questions about the father of her kids.
Ramplin had her two kids with a man named Paul Richardson. According to some reports, he was once her husband and they divorced after having two kids. Apart from this, it is hard to tell anything else about the man. But it seems he loved late Denny dearly. At his funeral, he related that the thought of spending weekends with Denny help him get through the weekdays.
Probably before she got married to Paul Richardson, Sam dated famous American actor Michael Keaton.
