R.I.P | Gary Coleman

Former child star Gary Coleman passed today, according to a publicist. He was 42. Many of us remember him as the wisecracking youngster Arnold Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes".

According to reports, Coleman fell ill Wednesday at his Santaquin, Utah residence and was rushed to the hospital.

This morning he went into a coma and was placed on life support.

"In recent years Gary Coleman has had difficulties, not only with health issues, but also with his personal and public life," his spokesman's statement said. "At times, it may not have been apparent, but he always has had fond memories of being an entertainer and appreciates his fans for all their support over the years. At this critical moment, we can only ask for your thoughts and prayers for Gary to make a speedy and full recovery."

Please continue to lift Gary's family in prayer.
