Gary Coleman has died!

[Quiet Stranger]

In some odd years we will all be saying "Where were you when Gary Coleman died" and I will say, "I was in the Wild West....skinning horses"

R.I.P. Gary Coleman. My only regret is that I never knew whether or not you were genuinely super short, or if that was just a world-wide writer's joke.

Coleman suffered from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis which resulted in his dwarfism. He's also character checked in The Five Of Us in GTA:Vice City.

Sad day, but given his condition, a remarkably long life.

He died because he fell down and hit his head, and wasn't there another actor just a few months ago that fell and hit his head? I think it was an older actor

RIP...Gary had a rough life on and off camera.

I know this may seem like I'm focusing on the wrong thing, but why are some of the comments hoping he gets better soon? Did I miss a trick and he's actually the Messiah?

Anyway, I only really knew of Avenue Q, but that was hilarious, so I'm sorry he's gone.

No, I was alittle confused myself. I think people are misreading it.. though I dont know how you can misread "Died at 12:05pm"

Anyway, Gary shall be missed.

This made me sad. The poor man didn't seem to have lead a very happy life.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

Damn, Avenue Q just got a lot less funny.
R.I.P Gary Coleman, you will be missed.

Exactly what I was going to say.
And to think, that was my nickname back in high school. It feels sadder than usual now...

Well lets not get to sad, he will live on as an internet meme forever. (Just wait ,4chan is going to something)

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Fuck me!! Why is everyone dying?

R.I.P Mr Coleman.

The article was updated when he died---this morning the news broke that he was in critical condition.

 

[madcap2112]

OH CRAP. I completely forgot about AVE. Q.

Time for a memorial service. May he forever be in heaven with a never ending supply of Polack jokes

I'm sure he's in heaven now, singing about schadenfreude as he watches us.

He lived a short life.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Well given his health matters already i knew this was coming but still it's a sad day indeed.

 

[Gardenia]

Whoah, I read this on 4chan this morning! Must have been like 20 minutes after his death.
Anyway: RIP

 

[sky14kemea]

WHAT?!? >_<

Oh come on, why are lots of celebrities dying in one go? I know lots of people die everyday but this is getting kinda suspicious now.

I liked him too >:/ darnit Death.

Where you during the summer of 2009? They were dropping like flies back then.

Yeah I know! I was there for that too D: it's starting to creep me out.

Natasha Richardson? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Richardson

Can't say I'm particularly familiar with anything Gary Coleman ever did, but he seemed one of those guys that everyone knows somehow. Rest in peace, man.

 

[faceless chick]

wow, really? he's dead?
i thought it was a prank when i read the title.
i'm sorry then, especially since he was so young.
oh well, RIP poor gary.

 

[rokkolpo]

What a shame, I never really knew much about him, but nobody really deserves to die at age 42.

reminds me of elvis. also age 42. i believe.

Not her, it was a male actor, and he was going for a walk, I don't think he died but he still fell down

Damn. This morning, I heard that he was ill, but I didn't know this had happened.

R.I.P Mr. Coleman.
