42-year-old former child actor Gary Coleman underwent emergency surgery in a Provo, Utah hospital after he suffered a head injury that reportedly occurred from a fall.
Coleman is listed in critical condition and his brother-in-law has revealed that he was transported from his home in Utah to a hospital at 12:50 P.M. ET on Wednesday, according to
MTV.com.
Coleman has experienced numerous
health-related problems over the past several months, but it is unknown if the prior incidents are related to his current condition.
Coleman suffered a seizure three months ago during an interview with The Insider and he received medical assistance from Dr. Drew of VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew before paramedics showed up to provide him with further treatment.
In January, the former child actor was hospitalized for what was believed to be a seizure. Coleman was born with failed kidneys and he is required to receive
dialysis on a regular basis to treat his condition.
Randy Kester, his attorney, announced during the fall of 2009 that his client underwent heart surgery as a result of complications that surfaced due to pneumonia.
Coleman is most famous as an entertainer for his role as Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes from 1978-1986. He was involved in a famous court case 17 years ago in which he regained a portion of his earnings from his
business advisers and parents who were found guilty of misappropriating his finances.
