Actor Gary Coleman passed away Friday, May 28. He was 42.
Coleman was best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in the 1978 sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes." His character's catchphrase, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" is perhaps more popular now than it was while the show ran, and is the basis for countless internet memes.
Coleman was hospitalized Thursday after suffering a brain hemorrhage and put on life support when he slipped into a coma mid afternoon. He regained consciousness the next day, but his condition declined later in the day.
The Utah Valley Regional Medical Center took him off of life support at 12:05 p.m. He was with his family at the time.
Coleman has been the subject of media attention since the late '90s, when he reportedly filed for bankruptcy due to "mismanagement," and ran for governor of California in 2003. He was also involved in several domestic disputes that were widely publicized, and was charged with assault on more than one occasion.

(what is Avenue Q going to do?)
Check out the video at 2:30 for "Gary Coleman"
He said that he could have cared less if that woman died, all because she asked him a question that he was on the show to answer. And his wife is finally free from the little monster.
As for proof of what I said: The video is right there for all to see.
