Death
After a flying rock is shot through her right eye, Samantha falls down, dead.
Shortly before Samantha arrived at a beauty parlor, her children started throwing stones at a sign to see if they could hit it, much to their mother's disliking. As Samantha was leaving her hair parlor, she was unaware that one of the stones landed in the grass very close to a lawnmower in motion. The driver of the lawnmower ran right over the stone and it was shot through the exhaust pipe. Samantha turns around and the rock flew through her right eye and out the back of her head, breaking the window behind her. She collapsed onto the floor and died, as her children and the staff screamed loudly in horror.
Signs/Clues
thumb|300px|right|Samantha's Death
- Ironically, her face had been disfigured in her death and Nick's vision.
- Nick sees a vague vision of someone dying from a stone.
- Immediately before her death, Samantha tells her sons, "I've got my eye on you two!"
- The salon closes at 6:00PM, which in twenty four hour time is 18:00
- The salon is named "Salon Dante."
- The reflection in the hand mirror of the ceiling fan that prompted Nick's vision of Samantha's death had a small pile of stones next to it.
- On the news article that Nick read about her death, on the right hand Related Stories column, a news topic read "Bus crash on HWY 180 kills 32"
- Samantha said that her children aren't going to leave her sight until she ships then off to college. However, Death had something else in mind which involves blinding her right eye.
- It's possible that Samantha was originally supposed to be crumbled by the falling ceiling fan, but her children intervened by slipping on the hair gel and causing Samantha to look away and move out of its path. However it was implied in Nick's vision that someone would die from a stone, so the falling fan may have just been added to build suspense.
- Dee Dee aims her scissors at Samantha's right eye, foreshadowing her death.
- An EXACTO knife falls onto Nick and Lori's picture. The knife aims at Lori's right eye, foreshadowing Samantha's death.
- The hairdressing scene is alluded to in the opening sequence.
- Both of her sons are wearing sports shirts during her death. The numbers on the shirts are "9" and "20" - 9x20 = 180.

Trivia
- In the script of The Final Destination, he is described as: SAMANTHA LANE, 39.
- Samantha Lane is partially referenced in the opening credits of Final Destination 5 by scissors coming towards the screen.
- Samantha's death is the third to involve the victim's right eye - the first was Olivia Castle from Final Destination 5, and the second was Evan Lewis from Final Destination 2.
- It should be noted that her husband and two sons are all survivors of the McKinley Speedway accident. All three are like Isabella Hudson.
- There is a slight similarity to Tim's death in Final Destination 2 (despite the fact that they both died differently), in that both victims were subjected to various red herrings (which were actually "normal" accidents, that had nothing to do with Death's List), before having a sudden death, when they appeared to be safe.
- Her death is also similar to Evan Lewis' death as both of them were killed by something going through their right eye. Evan was a ladder and her accident was a rock.
Mistakes
- When Samantha falls to the floor after getting hit in the eye with the stone, she is shown smiling a bit.
