BREAKING: Gary Coleman Dead at Age 42

Only hours after learning that Gary Coleman had been placed on life support following a nasty fall that left the actor in a coma, TMZ is reporting that the Diff'rent Strokes star has died. Coleman had a history of health issues including kidney problems and a seizure that the actor suffered earlier this year on the set of The Insider. Coleman was 42.

The actor was admitted to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center after suffering a brain hemorrhage on Wednesday, and was conscious and lucid until Thursday afternoon.

Says TMZ:

We've learned Gary's wife, Shannon, made the decision to pull life support early this AM.

We're told Coleman died at 12:05 PM MST. He died of a intracranial hemorrhage.

Family members and close friends were at Coleman's side when life support was pulled.
