The article you sent just indicates that he's on life support. Did he pass?

What you talkin' bout, Willis? It says he's dead.
Wow...you set me up for one of the first uses of that phrase that we are going to hear all weekend.

Anyways..it does bum me out, I always liked him, he got shafted by his parents and plenty of other people that surrounded him. I was hoping that one day he'd make some sort of cool comeback, sucks that it never happened.

AP article referenced on Yahoo says he's gone.

I was hoping he'd make a comeback.

CB&B's link does state he died.

RIP, Gary.

He really had a tough life - first kidney transplant at 5???

Screwed over by pretty much everyone. Such a shame, he had talent.

RIP Gary!

He was an icon from my childhood. I'm sad he had a rough life and I'm sad that he's gone. Later Gary, I'll miss ya.

How very weird. When I clicked the link a few hours ago, the headline read "Actor Gary Coleman on Life Support", and the article never once referenced his death. Now the title says he's dead. Strange.

The only place I could find the article was by googling "Gary Coleman life support", but this is word for word the article that I got when I originally clicked on CB&B's link:

Maybe somebody edited their link. ;)

All three of those kids who played on that show had miserable life experiences.,,,drugs, suicides, etc. What a mess.Sad. A world of difference from Opie and Andy and/or the Cosbys. There must be something to having strong and good grownups playing the lead roles in these things where kids spend so much time on the sets.

Coleman sat in the seat in front of me on a flight once. He was really, really super nice to everybody. Very kind to the flight attendants and all around him. Sad he never got a break.
Love, Ima

Very sad Gary's life turned out to be. RIP.

Poor bjornolf.

I remember when Coleman ran for governor of California. I did not vote for him.

Dana Plato's (she played Kimberly Drummond on Diff'rent Strokes) son committed suicide earlier this month.

I wonder what's going on with Todd Bridges (Willis) these days.

He's actually stable sounding and working here and there on reality tv shows as a commentator.

I love IMDB.

I wish his soul peace.

I'm more in tune with the passing of Art Linkletter.
This says far too much about my age.

Wow. I'm really sad to hear that too. How screwed up is our world when Gary Coleman makes the "top of the fold" headlines on my news page and I didn't even know about Art. RIP.

Oh. It's quite screwed.
But all can be righted with a LAX win over Vyjinny.

Speaking of which, what an awesome come from behind win for the Devils!
