    He died suffering from an intercranial hemorrhage.

    Another summer of celebrities dying?

    Anyways, I found this pretty sad.

    This was one of the sitcoms I watched as a kid, but kind of faded from memory because I was so young.
    I always recognized him when he guest appeared on shows, though, and his catchphrase.

    Oh well, R.I.P.

    Damn, is it going to be another depressing summer of deaths? First the Slipknot dude and now Gary Coleman? At least these are two within a week or so, rather than 5 odd in a row...Still, it's hardly consolation, is it?

    RIP Gary, you will be greatly missed.

    This really was a...shock. And he was pretty young to have died, he's younger than my mother. He was life support for a bit. The video isn't really working for me so I'm not sure if they said he was on life support. Probably did.

    Either way, rest in peace.

    He was pretty young to have died. He did have some on going health issues for some time though, I guess. He lived a rather tough life and I did enjoy his show Different Strokes when I was a kid. He'll be missed.

    Heard about it all day. Truly a saddening day. Always got a bad rep from the press so I'm somewhat happy for him knowing that people are starting to appreciate him in his death. I just wish he could have known how much we treasured him as a person. Rest in peace Coleman. (:

    Don't remember him really well because was too young when he was on television, but his death is really sad. He will be missed.

    *Exactly what I said. At least South Park already covered this one.

    What, is James Dio forgotten already? You should be ashamed of yourselves.
    Anyway, 42 is way too an age to die for anyone, celebrity or not. May he rest in peace.

    I thought /b/ was kidding.
    I don't remember seeing him on any shows except that one episode of Drake & Josh, but it's pretty sad that he died at 42. RIP.

    Apologies, but I've never heard of James Dio. I hadn't heard of Paul Grey until I found out he had died. Celebrity culture doesn't usually interest me unless I actually like their work/care about them in general, hence why I commented here, instead of in Grey's topic.

    First James Dio...then Paul Grey...now this...and Dennis Hopper passed away this weekend too...it's a repeat of last summer already.

    R.I.P to all of them, they will all be sorely missed.
