  • June 24, 2017

Gary Coleman was a beloved child star who captured the hearts of Americans with his iconic role on the hit sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes. However, his life was far from easy once the show ended and he struggled with financial issues, health problems, and legal battles. In Autopsy The Last Hours of... season 2 episode 16, viewers gain insight into the final moments of Coleman’s life.

Throughout the episode, medical examiner Dr. Richard Shepherd attempts to piece together the events leading up to Coleman’s death. Despite being a beloved figure, Coleman’s life was plagued with numerous health issues including a congenital kidney disease that stunted his growth and required a transplant later in life. Despite the transplant, he continued to face health challenges that eventually led to his untimely death at the age of 42.

During the episode, viewers learn that Coleman was rushed to the hospital after falling down the stairs at his home. Despite initially seeming fine, his condition quickly deteriorated and he ultimately suffered a brain hemorrhage that led to his death.

Dr. Shepherd delves deeper into the medical conditions that may have contributed to Coleman’s tragic end. Perhaps most notably, Coleman suffered from a seizure disorder that developed after he underwent brain surgery as a child. This seizure disorder could have contributed to the fall down the stairs that ultimately led to his brain hemorrhage. Additionally, his chronic kidney disease may have weakened his immune system and made it more difficult for him to recover from the fall.

Beyond the medical factors at play, the episode also explores Coleman’s personal struggles in the years leading up to his death. Despite his fame and success as a child star, Coleman faced numerous challenges including a lawsuit against his parents, financial struggles, and legal issues stemming from physical altercations. As a result, he became increasingly isolated from his former sitcom co-stars and struggled to find success in his adult years.

Through expert medical analysis and interviews with those who knew Coleman, Autopsy The Last Hours of... season 2 episode 16 provides a comprehensive look at the factors that contributed to Coleman’s tragic death. Despite facing numerous challenges in life, his legacy as a beloved child star endures and his impact on pop culture will long be remembered.
