Okpamen, who also doubles as a producer, is famous in the Edo entertainment industry for her acting skills and humanitarian activities.

"Nollywood Actor and Producer Sharon Okpamen has unfortunately passed on. 💔😭💔😭💔

Though Stanley Ontop didn't state the cause or when the actress passed, checks on the deceased's official Instagram page showed that she put to bed about three weeks ago.

One of the messages posted by @EdoOnlineTelevision on July 31, 2024, stated that Okpamen had welcomed a new baby with her husband.

However, the actress didn't make any posts by herself to announce the arrival of the new baby, giving rise to suspicion that she may have had complications after the delivery.

A fan known as Prince Selena Small Chop also hinted that in a comment on Ontop's post, claiming that the actress slipped into a coma after childbirth and never made it out alive.
