Gary Coleman Dies at Age 42

Following reports of declining health, Gary Coleman has died at the age of 42 after suffering a serious brain hemorrhage earlier this week.

The "Diff'rent Strokes" star, who was ailing from a congenital kidney disease, was admitted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center on Wednesday (May 26) following a fall at his home.


He was fully conscious after the accident, but his condition gradually worsened with manager John Alcantar revealing he was "unconscious and on life support."

A statement released by hospital officials reads: "Family members and close friends were at his side when life support was terminated. Family members express their appreciation and gratitude for the support and prayers that have been expressed for Gary and for them."
