born February 8, 1968 in Zion, Illinois, Known for his childhood role as Arnold Jackson in the TV sitcom Diff'rent Strokes has died May 28, 2010 (aged 42) in Provo, Utah. Adopted by Edmonia Sue, a nurse practitioner, and W.G. Coleman, a fork-lift operator. The reason Gary was short is because he suffered from a congenital kidney disease caused by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (an autoimmune destruction and alteration of the kidney), which halted his growth at an early age, leading to a small stature and a childlike appearance. He underwent two kidney transplants, one in 1973 and one in 1984, and required daily dialysis.
Coleman was featured in many TV series and movies like: Amazing Stories,227,Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,The Simpson's,Drake and Josh,My Wife and Kids,The Jamie Foxx Show, The Kid from Left Field Jackie,Scout's Honor Joey Seymour, and On the Right Track just to name a few.Also Coleman was in a lot of legal situations, Financial matters in 1989 to Domestic violence assault in 2010 I don't even want to get into that.
Now to the sad part; On May 26, 2010, Coleman was admitted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah, after falling and hitting his head and suffering an epidural hematoma at his home in Santaquin, Utah. He was announced to be in critical condition.According to a spokesman, Coleman's condition subsequently worsened.By mid-afternoon on May 27, 2010, Coleman was unconscious and on life support.He died at 12:05 p.m. on May 28, 2010.
Coleman is survived by his wife and his adoptive parents.
