Background & Context
Amber Eggers first entered the public eye in 2019 when she appeared on Season 2 of WE TV’s reality series Love After Lockup. At the time, she was serving a four-year sentence for drug trafficking. The show highlighted her relationship with fellow inmate Vincent Gonzalez, who proposed to her while she was incarcerated; the couple later became engaged but separated after her release. Eggers also formed a close friendship with her former cellmate Michelle “Puppy” Deaton, a bond that continued in later episodes and the spin-off Life After Lockup.
Recent Health Struggles
In addition to the acute liver failure that led to her death, secondary reports detail a series of serious medical issues in the preceding years:
- In the spring of 2025, Eggers developed pneumonia that progressed to sepsis and multiple organ failure, requiring a period on life support before she recovered enough to return home.
- Earlier in 2026, she suffered a “mini-stroke” while recuperating at home.
