Seems like March and April had a rash of emergency appendectomies, now brain hemmorages are all the celebrity rage!

This must have just been reported in the last hour or so because I had just read that he was in a coma.

But above joking aside. I hope that I'm not the only person that just felt sorry for this individual. Even as a child actor, he was somewhat of a caricature and a joke. And he was really taken advantage of, if I'm remembering right.

Ugh. Pretty much a sad life overall.

When I saw that he was dead on Yahoo! I felt the same way. After thinking about it for a minute in a odd way I'm happy for him. It's like all that pain and torment is over for that man. .. I don't know how to describe it, I'm just happy for him. Hopefully his soul can rest now the pain is over.

Wow, thats very sad. I loved him in Different Strokes, Whats up Willis. I'll never forget when he would say that.

You must have already forgot. It was actually "whatchu talking 'bout Willis" lol

Yeah Willis better watch out. First Dano Plane, now Coleman. Looks like a curse on the kids of Different Strokes.

Nope, not me. I don't feel sorry for this guy, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or anyone else who struck gold and failed or is failing to deal with it. I feel sorry for guys like Michael J Fox who struck gold, dealt with it, and then were dealt a bad hand by fate. I don't mean to sound cruel, it's just that so many people would have given their right arm for the opportunities that some of these people had. Some people have done a lot more with a lot less.

Dana Plato too lol

Her son just committed suicide as well. And the guy who played Willis has been in and out of trouble for years.

Plano's life and death was even worse. Her story is real sad. Drugs, abuse, etc.
