Update: Troubled Diff'rent Strokes actor Gary Coleman has died.
He was suffering from intracranial brain bleeding and was on life support in the intensive care unit of a Provo, Utah hospital, Coleman's spokesman said.
Coleman, 42, fell ill at his Santaquin, Utah, home Wednesday evening and was rushed by ambulance to a hospital, the spokesman said in a statement released Friday.
Coleman, 42, has had a number of health emergencies this year, including a seizure he suffered on the set of The Insider in February. He has suffered throughout his life from a kidney condition that caused his short stature.
The diminutive actor has been in and out of trouble since his Diff'rent Strokes days along with fellow child actors from the series, Dana Plato and Todd Bridges. |
