Despite his condition, Gary Coleman continued to star in "Diff'rent Strokes" until 1986 (via Blackpast). However, as his first kidney transplant began to fail, Coleman received his second transplant by the age of 16 (per The New York Times). Sadly, the rest of his life, according to Today, was full of both health and legal issues. While still a teen, Coleman sued his parents for mishandling money in his trust fund (per Biography). Later, he had trouble finding success as an actor and was arrested for assault multiple times. Beginning in 2010, it seemed Coleman's health was failing.

In February of that year, The Hollywood Reporter stated that he had suffered a seizure on the set of "The Insider." Only a few months later, Coleman suffered a fall at his Utah home after returning from a four-hour dialysis session that had left him weak and exhausted (via Us Weekly). He hit his head and was taken to the hospital. Reuters reports that he later lost consciousness and was placed on life support. On May 28, 2010, 42-year-old Coleman died as a result of a brain hemorrhage. Per CBS News, Coleman was cremated and requested that there be no funeral or ceremony of any kind.
