Gary Colemen “Diff’rent Strokes” Star Dies At 42

Former "Diff’rent Strokes" star Gary Coleman died today of a brain hemorrhage.  Gary was only 42 years old.  Life support was terminated and Gary  died at 12:05 p.m. MDT with family and friends at his side at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.

Gary has suffered continuing ill health from the kidney disease that stunted his growth and had a host of legal problems in recent years. 

A rep for Coleman released this statement: "Thanks to everyone for their well wishing and support during this tragic time. Now that Gary has passed, we know he will be missed because of all the love and support shown in the past couple of days. Gary is now at peace and his memory will be kept in the hearts of those who were entertained by him throughout the years."
