Celebrity deaths are the most curious of pop culture events. The celebrity in question is not only mourned, but picked apart usually days after they have passed away. Unlike the legendary actors of Hollywood's golden era, celebs in our internet media crazy age get a weird treatment. As was seen with Michael Jackson's death. Commentaries were indeed troubling and perplexing as people zeroed in on negative aspects of the celeb's life.
Such brings us to Gary Coleman's recent passing.
Coleman of "Different Strokes," died of a brain hemorrhage on Friday. Shockingly, Coleman was 42.
While Coleman was beloved for his roles on "Different Strokes," and had decent acting career his life suffered through its share of hardships, media coverage and the often tabloid scandal. I wont be getting into the details of that since it misses the point of this post, but Gary Coleman will be missed for the laugther he provided.
