Gary Coleman

Gary Coleman has died from a brain hemorrhage, it has been confirmed.  He went into a coma and his condition worsened so much that he was put on life support.  It was determined that he was not going to recover, so life support was terminated.  He was 42-years-old and died at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.

Here is a great video clip of a compilation of his work on Diff’rent Strokes:

Gary was super cute in Diff’rent Strokes – in part because of his ‘littleness’.  He suffered from a kidney disease called Nephritis, which caused his stunted growth.  His first kidney transplant was a from a Greek kid who was hit by a car.

Gary is the second star sibling out of the three kids on Diff’rent Strokes to die.  His costar, Dana Plato, who played his sister, Kimberly Drummond, died from an intentional drug overdose in 1999.  Sadly, her son Tyler Lambert, 25, killed himself this month with a gunshot would to the head, two days shy of his mother’s 11 year death anniversary.
