Gary Coleman died at age 42 on May 28, 2010 after suffering a brain hemorrhage. The former Diff'rent Strokes star was hospitalized on May 26 of that year after injuring his head in a fall and slipped into a coma. "He was removed from life support; soon thereafter, he passed quickly and peacefully," his manager John Alcantar told People.com. "By Gary’s bedside were his wife and other close family members."
