Ugh, why is it any time a "celebrity" dies people act like it's a huge surprise or that it shouldn't happen? This is real life people. People DIE in real life, fame or not.
RIP Gary.

Well to be fair, when it's a story like this or Bret Michaels where it comes out of nowhere it is a big surprise. Now if Gary Coleman was like 97 and on his way out it wouldn't be a huge surprise, but this story happened so damn fast I could see why it would surprise some people.

People die out of nowhere all the time...car accidents, heart attacks, falls, etc. Why it's anymore of a shocker that a celebrity dies before "old age", I'll never understand...and posts like: "OMFGGG!!!! EVERYONE IS DYING!!!! AHHHHH!!!" and "HOW CAN HE DIE?!?! HE WAS SO FAMOUS AND RICH!!?!??!!" Just make little to no sense to me. I get being shocked about someone dying all of a sudden, but to act like "everyone is dying" because a few "celebrities" do is just silly.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE!" stuff too. This sucks though. He didn't deserve all the bad times he went through. I can't imagine it would have gotten any better, though...

I always had the idea that he was going to die young. But I'm surprised it wasn't kidney problems that did it.

The only thing that bothers me about his passing, besides the fact that he died young, is we're going to have to hear about "E! True Hollywood Story: THE CURSE OF DIFF'RENT STROKES!!!!" all over again.
That and it's a crime the show isn't out on DVD. Screw you, Sony.

Good to see I'm not the only one that was wondering what Mr Drummond thinks. Willis - in and out of Jail Kimberly - Suicide Arnold - This I guess it wasn't the lap of luxury after all.

I found out he died at work. I said to the gal running the canteen.
"Did you hear Gary Coleman died? "Really? No way." "You don't know who that is, do you?" "No." "He was way before your time. He was on a show called Diff'rent Stokes". "You scared me there. I thought it was someone else." "Who else?" "I dunno. Someone else".
I saw Diff'rent Strokes a lot growing up, but I wouldn't consider it a part of me. I'll more remember Gary for his appearances in Married...with Children, pretending not to be himself and in the Simpsons where he did play himself.

There isn't much for me to say to be honest. I know the guy had a tough life after Different Strokes. Well, he probably had a tough life during it as well. At least he is in a better place.
R.I.P Gary Coleman!

Well, at least he's been reuinted with his career. He's made more money and has had more fame than likely anyone on this board ever will. You don't have to like the guy, but show some respect. RIP Gary Coleman.

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. I love that movie to this day; it was one of the first movies I remember going to see as a 6 year old with my brother and my cousin. Gary as the only person with half a brain, Don Adams as the detective, Cleavon Little as Jimmy's show-biz dad, Pat Morita as the half-blind chauffeur. If you haven't seen it, it's really funny. Highly recommended.
