Gary Coleman, the child star of the TV sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, died Friday after suffering an intercranial hemorrhage. He was 42.
Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank says life support was terminated and Coleman died at 12:05 p.m.
Coleman was hospitalized Wednesday after falling and suffering a head injury at his home south of Salt Lake City, according to family members.
What you talking ’bout Willis?
Too bad. He had health problems, got cheated out of the money he earned on Different Strokes, and died young. I hope he has now found peace where he is now.
He was a very angry, unhappy little man.
Most little men are.
He had every excuse to be angry. I wouldn’t have wished to have had his life.
If he was a different person, emotionally, he might have had a happier life. Like most people, he did the best he could.
He had a Different Stroke…
Isn’t a brain hemorrhage just a diff’rent kind of stroke?
To bad, he had such a short life.
I’m surprised that he didn’t commit suicide or go on a murder rampage years ago.
Can you imagine what his life was like… everywhere he went all he could hear, over and over and over was “What you talking ’bout Willis?”. And everyone that said it though he /she was being clever… it must have been a living hell… go to a restaurant and hear it over and over whispered from every corner… stand in line and hear it over and over… then have people walk up to you everywhere you went and say “What you talking ’bout Willis?” over and over…
We should all just say one thing:
Rest in peace Gary Coleman.
He still turned out slightly better than his TV siblings, a crack head and a crack whore.
Momma don’t let your babies grow up to do sitcoms.
Rest in peace? He’s dead.
Gary Coleman no longer exists.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
Done in by a intracranial hemorrhage. . . it’s like a stroke, but different.
I loved it when he ran for Governor of California along with Arnold and that dipshit Huffington when Grey Davis was recalled. I don’t think he would have done worse than the Meathead Arnold or the Marxist Ariana.
Another broken child star who could never live a normal life. He seemed always troubled.
But he never gave up.
He was suicided to prove that Bret Michaels is lucky. Trump said 50% die on the way to the hospital. Now it’s been proven.
Keeping Elvis and Michael company. Well, maybe not Michael.
Goodbye, little man. I never knew what to say to you to help make it better.
what a horrible title, “Dead at 42”. Isn’t there a lighter way to express death on a heading, such as passed away?
I would love to have met him with a “Dyn – O – mite!” and offering him a High Five. As a well grounded comedian, I’m sure he would have gotten it.
Child Abuse: whenever parents make money off their kiddies. Still not controlled as closely as it should be. Children as chattel still is the model in this libertarian (ie-fraudulent) country of ours.
Rest in peace. I always remember him being very articulate in interviews.
Todd Bridges for the win! Last surviving original cast member.
At first it sounded like he just took a tumble, hit his head, and died. Of course now I have realized he had experienced many health problems and even had a seizure recently. So I’m not surprised he died.
