gary coleman, 2-8-1968 to 5-28-2010

gary coleman died today. he had been placed on life support yesterday following a fall. today his wife sharon price had him taken off of life support. he passed away at 12:05 p.m. local time in Provo, Utah.

gary and sharon married in 2007 after meeting on the show "church bells." although most famous for his long-running role on different strokes, gary had acted in a variety of different movies and television shows throughout his life.

may is a difficult month for the child stars of different strokes. gary's co-star dana plato died may 8, 1999. her son committed suicide on may 8, 2010. (i don't know if gary actually knew dana's son).

rest in peace, gary coleman.
