Well, I’ll be damned, I can’t say I saw this one coming. Straight out of left field, former child acting prodigy (but in more recent times troubled grown man) Gary Coleman has died at the age of 42 due to a brain hemorrhage. Whatchu talkin’ bout, MSNBC?
Coleman suffered the hemorrhage Wednesday at his Santaquin home, 55 miles south of Salt Lake City. He was admitted to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and was conscious and lucid until midday Thursday, when his condition worsened and he slipped into unconsciousness. Coleman was then placed on life support.
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.
Apparently, Coleman suffered a head injury during a fall and never regained consciousness. In more recent times, his medical history and personal life has placed him in the news more than his acting career. Last year, he underwent heart surgery while suffering from pneumonia and this February suffered a seizure while on a set of “The Insider.” His appearance on Divorce Court also created another black eye on a career which was seemingly getting worse by the year.
In an emotional sense, Michael Jackson’s passing it is not. However, let’s hope this isn’t the start of a repeat from last summer when entertainers (former in Gary’s case) were kicking the bucket faster than a Thank Me Later leak.
Regardless, Young Arnold suffered the same fate as so many of his Hollywood counterparts – the absence of fame and the never-ending quest to make replace it. Plus, achieving fame that early in life rarely results in a happy ending. R.I.P. Gary Coleman. I don’t feel comfortable making any short jokes at the moment.

^^^
LMAO
I never thought I’d say this but Todd Bridges is now the last surviving member of the kids from Diff’rent Strokes.
Yeah I heard the news while driving and I thought the DJ said “Harry Coleman died.” Then I said to myself “Who the hell is that?” Then I realized he said Gary and needed to get my ears checked. RIP Gary Coleman. I’m going to refrain from using short jokes for a moment too Tinsley.
I just had tears touch my face WTF
*tries not to laugh @ Brando*
*fails*
You all a bunch a lying foolios, you all feel for Gary Coleman as much as you all felt when Guru died or when J-Dilla died or when that nice old lady who lived in your street died.
Save your crocodile tears for fears and do something with your life, be a father to your son (or daughter) like Edo said and be a credit to society instead of it’s downfall.
Ain’t nothing faker than false sympathy and tea, when I die a few people will mourn me, only a couple of women will probably shed tears for me and that’s all I need, because let’s get specific, you all don’t feel for Gary Coleman, probably laughed at him, when he was taking losses and was working Security to make those ends.
This is bullshit, they build you up to tear you down, and that’s the way of the world. It’s like that skit on the first A.Z. album, you know the one with the dope beat, where it goes….born alone, die alone.
^^^^^^
whatever.
I hope the dude has finally found peace…Life seems like it was pretty tough for him after his early success.
I had no sympathy for the lil nigga bruh I just had tears from jokes on this shit and don’t talk shit bout real sympathy cause whenever someone die on my block I shed tears wether it’s a cocaine OD or a shooting or an old lady dying lol fuck you sir paw paw yous being a huge twat. dont be a tossere I’m running from them coppers I look up in the sky see them helicopters Listening to Rem when I’m getting pulled over no range rover stuck in a suburu wit half a kilo in my trunk dead bodys in thew back seat leave that funk rank stank hollowed out these bullets but ask my baby momma I don’t shoot blanks I loot these projects like I’m Robbin tha hood I’m so good it ain’t even a challenge I aint even sweating from running this shit smile at me get you face split two ways like you went Bi too fly I give spliff to God homey I’m flawed but I’m working on it Tired of the hatin shit Let me in the booth and rape that shit then leave Leave you ho’s seething shit after listening to me yall aint breathing like…… That was from a rapper called Yukkamouf lol strayshot but back to topic fuck you PAW PAW
Save your soapbox speech for some other time man lol. It says Rest In Peace, not “I’m your biggest fan, Gary.”
FYE, you extra in a Guy Richie movie wish he was from Compton homie, the only reason you sporting a shinehead is cos you ain’t got the locks to sport a dread. Yes bitch I hijacked this thread, but you spouting large, with your zero streed cred. That was from a rapper called Goonie Goo Goo, now hoppit sunshine and polish your Avirex with a tooth brush (the one with the extra hard bristles).
Yeah I don’t know where that tirade came from. Nobody fronted like they were lifelong fans of him in here: just a RIP and a mention of not using the usual jokes for a lil’ bit.
@S.Cadet, yeah true man, I was just testing the waters to see if this place was still alive. But Ty Fyffe should lay off with the Luniz lyrics man. Drop Zone Rub #1.
lol lol Okay Paw PAW I just think you act wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over righteous dude you ain’t know how people feel asshole and you go tell every one from them Perkhem flats that they easy bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Yukks only 15 so if you hatin’ on a 15 year old wowz
Well I just got Paw’d then hahaha.
@FYE that’s because I’m a righteous brother like Bill Medley. Yukmouth is 35 years old, this other younger cat you talking about who’s biting Yuks name, I have no interest in. I’m sorry but I can no longer continue this conversation with you, I have got the standards of the TSS Board to think about. So good night, god bless, and let’s shake hands and not turn this into a weegro moment.
Gary Wayne Coleman (February 8, 1968 – May 28, 2010), peace out.
mkay fine but lets not say biting his name cause a name is just a name like rick ross or jay c sides it’s yukkamouf but eh okay whatever you say
@ ricky chill bro chill @paw Paw my name Yukkamouff is because of a trip to the dentist because of 5 cavities so my name was brandished and also dismissing me w/o listening to me ouch when my tapes done I’ll find out how to give it to you then judge also those lyrics wasn’t about me it was about this dude named desmond who is currently serving life in prison (deserved too) I’m a ghetto kid but not a G I was raised to be smart not ignorant and finally RIP Coleman before my time but still a tragic story
@ rick simmer down and those lyrics posted wasn’t bout me they were about a man named Desmond who is now serving a deserved life sentence in prison @PAW dude I’mma find you and send you my tape so you can judge properly and my name was brandished by my mates after 5 cavities
fuck you paw go take ur meds you pompus bastard.
oh and Paw please respond to me if you would I would like to understand you motives a non hating request
R.I.P Big boy !
I don’t know much about Gary, except he was a security guard. Oh, and sold NY French Fries.
At one time, when Gary Coleman was on top of the world, he’d hoped to be a great actor like his hero, Sidney Poitier…..so would that have made him ‘Kidney SHORTier’?
I suppose every cloud has a silver lining. In life, Gary Coleman would have made a bad governor. A governor should be able to stand tall and comprehend whatchya talkin’ about. And who has most to lose in this tragedy now that Gary is dead? The podium builders.
Gary Coleman died from falling in the street and hitting his head? How could this be he only fell like 2 feet. The one upside to Gary Coleman’s death is that he can share a coffin with Dio. I had no idea Gary Coleman and Danny DeVito were Republicans.
RIP Arnold. Pour out a “lil” liquor.
