i haven't heard how he "fell" did they take him right away to the hospital when it first happened? and what kind of "fall" does this kind of damage? weren't him and his wife having problems?

Gary had a deep need in his life that only Faith in Jesus Christ could heal. I pray tht he made a decision to accept Him as his Lord and Savior before Gary passed into eternity. Jesus loves all of us so much. He has already proven His love.

Is it weird to pull the plug after someone's been in a coma only a day?

We take it for granted but a lot of these stars lacked a childhood...they worked when they were way too young at a full time job with all the public attention and too much money and fame too fast..

I think his skeezy "wife" killed kil by hitting him over the head with something or pushing him down the stairs or something. She needs to be investigated, because she wasd violent with him in the past too.

Even when the doctors ascertained that the brain hemorrhage is the one that cause him to fall in the first place? SMH @ you. RIP Mr Coleman. You are in a peaceful place now.
