80's sitcom stars, didn't I tell you to STOP DYING?

Gary Coleman died yesterday at 42. The Diff'rent Strokes star had terrible health and personal problems his entire life. :( May he rest in peace.

After Strokes ended, his career dried up and he became the butt of many jokes. Hollywood really does treat former child actors like crap. And his parents were no better.

All three of the kids on that show had it rough. Dana Plato died in 1999 (drug overdose, likely intentional), and Todd Bridges had drug problems as well, though he seems to have finally gotten it together.
