CAN PEOPLE STOP FREAKIN' DYING ALREADY?!?! Uhm, no. It's the way of life. Though, I agree with you, it's sad that so many young celebrities has died lately. R.I.P., Gary Coleman. And may you have figured out what Willis what talking about before Death came a-knocking.

That really sucks. I liked Diff'rent Strokes when I was a kid, and Gary was pretty funny in the Postal 2 video game. R.I.P. Gary.

I loved his movie, Jimmy the Kid, as a child. The one where he gets kidnapped as the son of a rick kid & then winds up befriending his kidnappers.
And I loved his tantrum with Vanilla Ice on Surreal Life in the restaurant.
He was good at what he does when he did it!

Can't say that I'm surprised, since Gary had been looking pretty rough lately. And given all the health issues he'd battled his entire life, some would say he was living on borrowed time, anyhow.
The real tragedy is that unlike most child actors who coasted along for years on their 'cuteness', Gary Coleman had genuine talent and tremendous charisma and comic timing from the start. And had his gifts been nurtured by the right people, his career would certainly have flourished after Diff'rent Strokes ended. Instead, he was constantly exploited and manipulated by individuals for their own selfish ends, and by the time he was of age and able to take control of his own life he had to spend the majority of his years left on Earth battling financial issues, greedy opportunists and serious health setbacks. Is it any wonder that he was so 'angry' towards the end of his life? If I had gone through even a fraction of what he has endured publicly and privately, I'd be pretty unhinged myself.
Rest in peace, Gary. You've earned it.

Oddly enough I had the Different Strokes theme stuck in my head all day at work, and I came home to see this news. R.I.P.

Very sad news, I used to watch so much Diff'rent Strokes when I was a kid. Very funny guy who had a tough life. At least he is finally at peace now.

RIP Gary. I loved the TV movie where he lived in a locker at the train station.
I will always remember him having a passion for model railroads.
Rest easy, and thanks for all the childhood laughter.
