I heard that this morning as well. It doesnt look good for him at all and the chance of recovery is very slim for him with his heart troubles of recent. Hopefully he can find peace very soon with all he's has gone through.
He has a thread & a new one shouldn't have been be started unless he's actually dead! You'll freak us all out!
Sorry, I didn't do a search first and I should have. Didn't mean to freak anyone out.
Scared me for a minute there, nothings been heard over here!
Senior Death Hag
I saw this and rushed over thinking the guy had died!
My heart just sank and I don't even know this guy but I grew up watching different strokes. I really hope he pulls through.
Someone add this to the merge thread
What 'choo talkin' bout krypy?! Scared me to death! Then again, though, I don't think it's going to be very long before he really is in this section of the site.
I have a stopwatch out to see how long it takes anyone to request a merge with the thread in Entertainment. Oh wait, that'll be me. Stopwatch click. 10 seconds!

Ohhh, there were rumors going around last night that he died so I wasn't surprised to see this here, but I guess it's good that he's not dead yet. Hopefully he will make a full recovery!

How sad, poor Gary. I feel badly for child stars, so many have difficult lives and face such rejection and problems later in life. I hope his life was going well for him before he passed.
RIP

This is so sad! I don't want to imagine what it's like to have to make that decision to take someone off life support. I hope where he's going he's at peace. RIP Gary! You made us laugh so much through the years.

I wonder how many of us had him on the dead pool list?
It is sad, he was so young. I liked Different Strokes.

I was just on Wikipedia and had to post this before it is edited out. Someone always has to be a smartass:
Wow, just reloaded the Wikipedia page and the whole Death section has been removed. I'm glad I could capture that for posterity.Death

PROVO, Utah â?? Gary Coleman, the child star of the smash 1970s TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" whose later career was marred by medical and legal problems, has died 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. MDT.
Coleman, with his sparkling eyes and perfect comic timing, became a star after "Diff'rent Strokes" debuted in 1978. He played the younger brother in a pair of African-American siblings adopted by a wealthy white man.
His popularity faded when the show ended after six seasons on NBC and two on ABC.
He suffered continuing ill health from the kidney disease that stunted his growth and had a host of legal problems in recent years.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â?? Former child TV star Gary Coleman is on life support and unconscious after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage at his home, his family said Friday.
Coleman suffered the hemorrhage Wednesday at his Santaquin home, 55 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Utah Valley Regional Medical Center released the statement on behalf of Coleman's family.
It also says Coleman, 42, was conscious and lucid until midday Thursday, when his condition worsened and he slipped into unconsciousness. Coleman was then placed on life support.
"At this critical moment, we can only ask for your thoughts and prayers for Gary to make a speedy and full recovery," the family statement said.
Coleman has had continuing ill health from a kidney disease he suffered as a child. He had at least two kidney transplants and has ongoing dialysis.
An ambulance was called to Coleman's home Wednesday, and he was initially transported to Mountain View Hospital in Payson, the nearest medical facility, said Dennis Howard, Santaquin's director of public safety.
The family statement says Coleman was later moved to the regional medical center in Provo for additional tests and treatment.
The hospital did not give details on Coleman's condition beyond calling it an intracranial hemorrhage, which is bleeding inside the head.
Dr. Jennifer Majersik, a stroke specialist and assistant professor of neurology at the University of Utah, said intracranial hemorrhages can be broken vessels within the brain itself or next to it. Majersik, who is not involved in Coleman's treatment and is unfamiliar with the case, said the most serious types involve a broken vessel inside the brain.
Hemorrhaging can also occur on the surface of the brain or in the protective layers between the brain and the skull, Majersik said.
Coleman is best known for his stint on "Diff'rent Strokes," which aired from 1978 to 1986.
Coleman moved to Utah in 2005 to star in the movie "Church Ball," a comedy based on basketball leagues formed by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He met his wife Shannon Price on the movie set and married her in 2007.
Last fall, Coleman had heart surgery complicated by pneumonia, said his Utah attorney Randy Kester.
In February, Coleman also suffered a seizure on the set of "The Insider." Also in February, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge related to an April 2009 domestic violence incident at his home.
Coleman also had a string of financial and legal problems.
The family acknowledged his struggles in its statement, saying Coleman had had "difficulties not only with health issues, but also with his personal and public life."
"At times it may not have been apparent, but he always had fond memories of being an entertainer and appreciates his fans for all their support over the years," the family said.
Oy Veh !!!! RIP Gary ...........Originally Posted by Luanne
I don't know how hard it was in his case. he was miserable & full of anger & sadness.
Yay for Lu for catching it!

Yes he was full of anger but if I had been betrayed as much as he had been especially by his parents I would be a little angry too. But holding on to that anger kept him from living life.

I agree, but he wasn't able to change so he's probably happier now. Or at least he expected to be.
Renowned Death Hag
I hope he is at peace.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]peek-a-boo!!
Now he's with Dana Plato and her son. Hope they all find their peace together.
Wtg, Luanne! I would have been too late to see it.
This is sad. Bless his heart. He had a tough row to hoe in life, that's for sure. RIP Gary. May you find peace in your next journey.

Conrad Baine was contacted by TMZ when Gary was in a coma.
Conrad said he has not been in contact with Gary for a while.
The man who played Gary Coleman's sitcom father on "Diff'rent Strokes" tells TMZ he's aware of Gary's tragic situation -- and says he's "hoping and praying for his recovery."
Conrad Bain -- who played Philip Drummond on the show -- tells us the two haven't spoken in years ... but with the recent reports, Gary is definitely in his thoughts.
As we previously reported, Coleman is currently on life support after suffering a intracranial hemorrhage earlier this week.
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay-roll.

Well said Tebs. He did have a rough go of it. RIP.
Renowned Death Hag
HEre is another one I didn't know was still alive.
MRS. Garrett
Charlotte Rae -- who played Mrs. Garrett on "Diff'rent Strokes" -- said she saw a TV report this morning that Gary was hospitalized. A few hours later she got the news he had passed away.
Rae tells TMZ "I said a prayer for him this morning after hearing about his condition. Gary was so loving, so charming. He was the big star of the show."
Rae also starred in the "Diff'rent Strokes" spin-off, "The Facts of Life" -- which might never have happened without Gary's success.
"He was the reason the show was a hit."
