Did Samara Die From the Glow House
Samara Morgan did not die from the glow house. She died by drowning in a well on her family's property. The house later became associated with her curse, but the well was the actual site of her death.
How Samara Died in The Ring
According to the film's backstory, Samara was thrown into the well by her adoptive mother, Anna Morgan. She survived for several days before finally drowning. The well became the focal point of her supernatural rage.
The Role of the House in The Ring
The Morgan house, often called the glow house, is where Samara's cursed videotape is created. While the house amplifies her power, it is not the cause of her death. Her spirit spreads the tape to anyone who watches it.
