RIP Gary Coleman (1968 – 2010)

May 28, 2010 in Celebrity, Sad

I know he had his recent troubles, which were well publicized, but I grew up with Diff’rent Strokes, and well, this shit just dumped me. To me, he was always one of those people in showbusiness you secretly wished would get his life sorted out, a new show or something that didn’t demean him in some bullshit post-modern faux-reality manner. Anyway – he died about 30 minutes ago, life support was switched off. He hadn’t regained consciousness after suffering an intracranial hemorrhage from a fall earlier this week.

Rest in peace, wee man.

    Very sad. What a rotten set of cards he was dealt with having the two people who robbed him blind be his parents. Does anyone know if they are still alive? All of the family statements I’ve seen so far have come from his wife’s family.

    I agree – he was dealt a rotten set of cards in life and I hate that he died this way. I sincerely hope we’re not inundated with a zillion variations of “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” in the coming weeks.

    My inner latch-key kid is genuinely saddened.

    None of the kids on that show ever stood a chance. I think Todd Bridges had gotten his life under control for now, but Dana Plato and Gary Coleman paid a steep price for their success. RIP.
