Gary Coleman passes away at 42

[Disgruntled70sHab]

He had a rough go of it after "Different Strokes."

=======================================================

His adult life was marked with legal, financial and health troubles, suicide attempts and even a 2003 run for California governor.

=======================================================

Gary passed away from a brain hemorrhage at age 42. His sister on the series, Dana Plato, committed suicide by a drug overdose, while Todd Bridges, the surviving 'kid' from "Different Strokes", had his troubles as well.

Sadly similar to the Natasha Richardson case. She fell while skiing at Tremblant last year. She seemed OK for a while then fell into a coma & passed away.

Condolences.

For a split second, I thought I read Gary Bettman instead of Coleman . Then I crashed back to earth.
