Gary Coleman’s Widow Thanks Fans For ‘Wonderful Support’

‘This has been so comforting to the family to know how beloved he still is,’ her statement reads. By Kara Warner Gary Coleman Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images Mere hours after news broke that Gary Coleman died of an intracranial hemorrhage on Friday (May 28), Coleman’s widow, Shannon Price, thanked fans for their support. The heartfelt statement was read by her brother, Shawn Price, at a news conference. “We are very grateful for all the wonderful support everyone has been extending to Gary’s family,” he said. “Thousands of e-mails have poured in to the hospital. This has been so comforting to the family to know how beloved he still is. … Thank you so much for all that you guys have done and for the support and prayers that you guys have given us.” Price also said that details regarding Coleman’s death and funeral arrangements will be announced soon. The “Diff’rent Strokes” actor , whose congenital kidney disease halted his childhood growth at an early age, had suffered a series of health setbacks in recent years. He was admitted to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo on Wednesday after hitting his head in an unexplained fall and had reportedly slipped into critical condition by the next day. On Friday, doctors announced that he was unconscious and on life support in a coma due to an intracranial hemorrhage, which results from a broken or ruptured blood vessel, causing bleeding inside the skull. Born in Zion, Illinois, on February 8, 1968, Coleman was adopted as an infant by a local couple. He was diagnosed with an autoimmune dysfunction called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a congenital kidney disease that stunted his growth (he was 4-foot-8) and required two kidney transplants as well as daily dialysis. Later in life, he was forced to work as a security guard on a movie set in 2008 when acting gigs dried up. He got married that year to then-22-year-old Shannon Price, though the union was rocky, landing the couple on the syndicated “Divorce Court” show. He was hospitalized in Los Angeles for undisclosed reasons in January, then again in February after suffering a seizure on the set of the TV show “The Insider.” Share your thoughts and memories of Gary Coleman in the comments below.

Gary Coleman on Life Support, Unconscious After Suffering Brain Hemorrhage

The manager of Gary Coleman is asking for our “thoughts and prayers” as the former child star, now 42, is on life support after suffering a brain hemorrhage. He suffered the injury in his Utah home on Wednesday. Coleman was hospitalized for treatment, his manager John Alcantar said, and was in critical condition. Things took a turn for the worse , though, when Coleman was transferred to the ICU at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for further tests and treatment: “As of May 27, Mr. Coleman was conscious and lucid. By early afternoon, Mr. Coleman was slipping in and out of consciousness and his condition worsened. “We are very saddened to announce that since mid-afternoon, Mountain Time, on May 27, 2010, Mr. Coleman has been unconscious and on life support.” Alcantar says that despite Coleman’s recent history of health problems and personal issues, “he always has had fond memories of being an entertainer.” “He appreciates his fans for all their support. At this critical moment, we can only ask for thoughts and prayers for Gary to make a speedy, full recovery.” If it’s any consolation, Bret Michaels also suffered a brain hemorrhage and bounced back from similarly long odds. Here’s hoping Coleman can do the same.
