I think I must have missed something. If he was 18 in 1986, then now in 2010, he would be 42.

I don't get it either caseysmom.

They reported on the a.m. news, that he is in a coma.

Point is, the poster is asking "how can he be 42?" It IS really obvious and this poster didn't get it.

Gary Coleman desperately needs your "thoughts and prayers."

The former Diff'rent Strokes star, hospitalized after a fall earlier this week, is now on life support with a brain hemorrhage, according to his manager.

Coleman, 42, suffered the injury in his Utah home on Wednesday and was taken to a local hospital for treatment, manager John Alcantar said in a statement Friday. Coleman was then transferred to the ICU at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for further tests and treatment.

And there, things took a bad turn.

"As of mid-morning on May 27, Mr. Coleman was conscious and lucid," said Alcantar. "By early afternoon, Mr. Coleman was slipping in and out of consciousness and his condition worsened.

"We are saddened to announce that since mid-afternoon, Mountain Time, on May 27, 2010, Mr. Coleman has been unconscious and on life support."

In a sad coda to his statement, Alcantar says that despite Coleman's recent history of health problems and personal issues, "he always has had fond memories of being an entertainer and appreciates his fans for all their support over the years.

"At this critical moment, we can only ask for your thoughts and prayers for Gary to make a speedy and full recovery."
