Former child star Gary Coleman, who rose to fame as the wisecracking youngster Arnold Jackson on the TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" but grew up to grapple with a troubled adulthood, has died. He was 42.
Coleman died of a brain hemorrhage at a Provo, Utah, hospital, Friday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The actor fell ill at his Santaquin, Utah, home Wednesday evening and was rushed by ambulance to a hospital, Coleman's spokesman had said in a statement earlier Friday.

Holy . . .
Was so not expecting this. He had such a hard time as an adult; I hope he's finally found peace now.

I agree completely. You wouldn't think that based on his TV persona he would lead such a sad life. Everyone on that show did.
RIP Gary

I heard this yesterday and, even though I did not watch Diff'rent Strokes, this is still pretty shocking news.
R.I.P., Gary.
