According to TMZ, Amber died on September 3 at a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, after she had been admitted several days earlier because she was not feeling well. Her mother said doctors could no longer keep her heart beating and confirmed that Amber ultimately died from acute liver failure.

At the time, Amber was incarcerated and serving a four-year sentence for drug trafficking. Her storyline initially centred around her relationship with Vincent Gonzalez, who was waiting for her outside prison.
Amber and Vincent eventually became engaged during her incarceration. However, their relationship did not survive after she was released.
Amber later remained connected to the Love After Lockup franchise, appearing in subsequent episodes and the spin-off Life After Lockup. She also became closely associated with Michelle “Puppy” Deaton, her former cellmate and friend.

The news of her death also comes after reports about Amber facing serious health problems in the past.
