'Diff'rent Strokes' star Gary Coleman dies - Yahoo! News

The guy definitely had problems but he was funny as a kid. To die at only 42!

Unfortunately, like so many other child stars, he was trapped by his most famous character.

t's like being on that show was some kind of weird coincidental curse...think about it.... and how all those 3 child stars of that show ended up...

Dana Plato..dead in 1999 from a drug overdose.
Todd Bridges...drug charges, murder charges (of which he was acquitted) etc.
and now Gary Coleman...passed at 42 but had his issues with the law in his past as well.

Kinda eerie if you think about it.

Gary had health issues for many years though. More than one kidney transplant I think I heard.
