Answer I couldn't stop sobbing when Padme was dead.
Neither of these are very natural. One possible option for expressing this is "I couldn't stop sobbing when Padme died."

I'm sorry, but tell me! Do you mean both of sentences are not natural? Because you said 'neither'.

Yes. "Neither of the two sentences are natural" is another way to say that both of the sentences sound unnatural.
