Last Thursday, The former child star, Gary Coleman was said to be in a serious medical condition in a Utah hospital after injuring his head. Janet Frank, a spokeswoman for Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo does not want to reveal any information regarding his condition, but stated that Coleman’s family can answer questions regarding what happened. However, the family didn’t want to discuss further about his condition.
The actor is best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in the American sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes. He has congenital kidney disease caused by Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis. A Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis is an autoimmune disease where in there is destruction and alteration of the kidney which causes stunted growth. He had undergone kidney transplant and requires daily dialysis. This is a sad situation for Coleman since his health problem is getting serious. Only recently, he was reported that he had seizure after the set of “The Insider”.
Gary Coleman was married to Shannon Price. It was a secret ceremony and she even was the one who proposed to him. Coleman says, “I don’t have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence…She’s more intelligent then I am and that’s what matters to me.” Price says, “He was really sweet and I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t grow up with Diff’rent Strokes. I actually didn’t like watching TV when I was younger.” The couple married secretly on August 28, 2007 on a Nevada mountaintop after meeting on the set of one of Coleman’s movies. The ceremony was extremely intimate. Coleman says, “Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us. That was all that was there. There was nobody else.” However, they divorced just after eight months of their marriage. Price says that Coleman has temper tantrums whereby he “stomps the floor and yells, ‘Meehhhh,’ and starts throwing stuff around…He bashes his head in the wall, too.”
Coleman’s life has been miserable since he has many financial, legal problems and emotional problems. He was even arrested because he was reported about domestic violence.
