Warwick Davis's wife cried for four days as she 'realised she was going to die'
Harry Potter star Warwick Davis opened up on his wife Sammy's sepsis battle in a harrowing video years before her death.
Harry Potter star Warwick Davis's wife previously opened up about her near-death experience with the condition.
Samantha battled sepsis, meningitis and Strep B infections in 2018 before she sadly passed away on March 24, 2024. Warwick confirmed the sad news in a statement. Warwick described his late wife as his "most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career".
"She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes," he continued. Their children, Harrison and Annabelle, also honoured their late mother, stating that her "love and happiness carried us through our whole lives."
In 2018, Sammy spoke candidly about her battle with the trio of infections she contracted following a spinal operation. She admitted that she believed she was "going to die" and spent four days crying before accepting her fate on the fifth day.

She recalled the moment she was told she had just months to live: "For four days I cried, 'I don't want to die,' I was absolutely sobbing. On the fifth day I thought, 'I'm gonna die and can't do anything about it.'".
Despite the trauma, she views her brush with mortality as a positive turning point: "It was the best and worst experience of my life. The best because I've got a second chance but the worst because of the pain, and the post sepsis is really rubbish."

Her ordeal has inspired her to fully appreciate life's precious moments: "I want to tell everybody to love. One day I thought, 'This is it, I'm going' and I thought we need more time. Tell your kids you love them, tell your husbands... it's made me a better person. The kids say I'm a lot calmer and I can feel it."
Her partner describes the harrowing experience and the swift decline in her health: "I think in those situations you put those thoughts to the back of your mind. But then at the time heading to A&E she was deteriorating by the minute, I noticed it really very quickly."
