The Most Tragic Celebrity Deaths of All Time

Gary Coleman

Gary Coleman was best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes (1978–1986). Despite his success as a childhood star, Coleman struggled financially due to the misappropriation of his money at the hands of his parents and business adviser. In 1989, he successfully won a lawsuit against them, but he filed for bankruptcy only 10 years later.

On May 28, 2010, Coleman passed away after months of rapidly declining health. Two days prior, Coleman fell down the stairs and hit his heading, causing an epidural hematoma which eventually led to his death.
