00:06The young actor Gary Coleman was a worldwide star.
00:10In the 80s, his big cheeks, his witty manner, and his catchphrase won the hearts of millions of people.
00:18In the constellation of tiny stars, he was the brightest one.
00:23But at the height of his fame, he is plagued by health problems.
00:27Several doctors, several hospitalizations.
00:31And when his career stalls, he ends up in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
00:35Betting on stars was my only reasonable option.
00:39He gains a reputation for being hot-headed, and a series of arrests end up happening.
00:45Gary, what happened yesterday?
00:47People wouldn't leave him alone, and his anger grew.
00:52And on May 28, 2010, Gary Coleman died after an incident at his home in Utah.
01:01Speculation soon begins to circulate.
01:12Gary's life seemed full of conflict and controversy.
01:16And it seems his death was no different.
01:19But was this sudden death the result of one of the many health problems that plagued his life?
01:26Or, as some believe, was it the result of something more sinister?
01:31The autopsy of celebrities.
01:34Gary Coleman.
01:39Dr. Michael Hunter is a renowned forensic pathologist.
01:43He has already performed more than 4,000 autopsies.
01:46And today he is the chief medical examiner for one of the largest cities in the United States.
01:52Working alongside the authorities, Dr. Hunter specializes in uncovering the cause of mysterious deaths.
02:00Gary Coleman died under mysterious circumstances.
02:04Is this just the sad story of a child star who had problems?
02:09Or could there be something more?
02:12Using all available medical and police records,
02:16I'm going to analyze the last days and hours of Gary's life.
02:20to determine exactly what happened to him.
02:27May 25, 2010.
02:30Santa Queen, Utah.
02:31Three days before Gary's death.
02:35Gary is at home playing with his toy trains.
02:38He's had this hobby since he was a child.
02:44Gary was absolutely passionate about his trains.
02:47So, many, many times, he would spend hours and hours immersed in it.
02:52creating another space, another kingdom for his little trains.
02:55So, he loved all of that.
03:01Gary lives with his ex-wife, Shannon Price, who is 18 years younger.
03:06They got married in 2007 and divorced a year later.
03:10But despite their turbulent romance, they stayed together.
03:17In recent years, Gary has been unable to obtain more paperwork and has numerous medical bills due to a series of problems.
03:24Health problems are pushing him to the brink of bankruptcy.
03:26An initial look at Gary's medical history shows me that he has had various health problems for much of his life.
03:33of life.
03:34Determining whether any of these problems contributed to his death will not be easy.
03:39Gary Wayne Coleman was born in Zion, Illinois, on February 8, 1968.
03:46His parents, W.G. Coleman and Ed Monishu, came from a humble background in a rural area of the South.
03:54The couple worked together in a laundry at a Chicago hospital and studied at night to provide a better life for their children.
04:01the son.
04:02Well, it's that time of year when we can have an Uber girl at Harris Bank.
04:06Little Gary shows talent as an actor.
04:10And in 1977, at age 9, he starred in a commercial for a Chicago bank.
04:16Gary was discovered by a talent scout who worked for Norman Lear.
04:23You can never have too much Uber God, because...
04:28Norman saw the commercial and said, "I need to take this kid to Hollywood."
04:33That's exactly how Gary was discovered.
04:37Within a year, Gary is handpicked for the lead role in a new series called Arnold.
04:44Gary plays Arnold Jackson, one of two brothers adopted by a wealthy businessman after their mother dies.
04:51His cute face and funny manner are an instant hit, and he quickly becomes the star of the show.
04:57He was so funny.
05:01He had a huge smile, those round cheeks, and he was a sweetheart.
05:08And then he would say something and you would burst out laughing.
05:13The most shocking thing about Gary was his height.
05:16As an adult, he was only 1.42 meters tall.
05:20People of this height often have a genetic condition called achondroplasia.
05:25which is also better known as dwarfism.
05:29Adults with this condition have a normal life expectancy.
05:32but they may suffer from problems in the brain and spinal cord.
05:37But looking at his body, it seemed proportional.
05:41So there must be another reason to explain this shared height.
05:46And I believe I have found it.
05:48Gary's childhood seems to have started normally.
05:52But at 22 months, I see that he was diagnosed with nephritis.
05:57which is a congenital and potentially fatal kidney disease.
06:02It is caused by a blockage of the ureter.
06:05which is the tube responsible for carrying urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
06:10This obstruction causes urine to flow back into the kidneys.
06:14which completely destroyed one of them and severely damaged the other.
06:19Without a kidney transplant, Gary wouldn't survive for long.
06:25December 18, 1973.
06:28Gary is 5 years old.
06:31After a two-year wait, a donor is finally found.
06:35He undergoes a 7-hour surgery to perform the transplant.
06:40That was a challenge that most people can't even imagine.
06:45When you're a child and you face that horror,
06:48It seems like it will never end.
06:51That thing accompanies you every day.
06:53The kidney transplant was a success.
06:57However, he had to take strong immunosuppressants.
07:01to prevent your body from rejecting a new organ.
07:07He once commented to someone that he was taking so many pills.
07:12who needed to carry a pharmacy with them.
07:16I see that one of the medications he was taking was prednisone.
07:20which is a steroid that contains cortisol.
07:23And an excess of this substance over a long period.
07:26It causes the cheeks to swell.
07:28A condition called Cushing's syndrome.
07:33Furthermore, and most importantly, children who take steroids,
07:38especially those who have had kidney failure,
07:40have their growth stunted.
07:43Healthy bones contain growth plates.
07:45They allow bones to grow during childhood.
07:49So, when the kidney stops working,
07:51calcium metabolism is disrupted.
07:54causing these growth plates to close prematurely.
07:57and the bones stop growing.
08:01I think the side effects of the medication Gary took...
08:05Or his short stature may have nothing to do with his death.
08:09But the combination of nephritis with the potent steroids he was taking
08:14They explain his height and his unique appearance.
08:18If Gary had had healthy kidneys, he would have been of normal height.
08:23But it's Gary's short stature.
08:26His big cheeks and the ability to play a role well,
08:29younger than his age, which launches him to stardom.
08:32He became a star because he had a skill.
08:37to say a phrase that made everyone laugh.
08:41He was a self-taught genius.
08:44In 1981, Gary became the highest-paid actor on an American television network.
08:49reportedly earning around $70,000 per episode.
08:54Gary's parents quit their jobs to manage their son's career and keep 20% of his earnings.
09:01The show is a huge success, but behind the scenes, problems are starting to surface.
09:081983, Metro Media Square Studios.
09:12Gary is 15 years old, but he's becoming increasingly frustrated with playing younger roles.
09:17due to the increasing pressure of fame and her fragile health.
09:22Gary, alone, carried the program.
09:25He was the one who kept him afloat.
09:27And he knew it.
09:28He was tired of having to study on set.
09:31He wanted to go to a regular school.
09:33He wanted to be a normal child.
09:34Gary wanted to stop working.
09:37He didn't want to do the following season, but his parents insisted.
09:41They were saying, "Just one more, and that's it."
09:44Gary said he was going to stop working.
09:47This meant a significant decrease in the income of several people he had made very wealthy.
09:57Gary was clearly under a lot of pressure during the filming of Arnold.
10:02He worked very hard and had an enormous amount of responsibility for someone so young.
10:08And I found something in his medical history that indicates his kidney problems were recurring throughout his life.
10:15your life.
10:16We know that Gary underwent a kidney transplant when he was 5 years old.
10:20So what I want to know is why he was undergoing dialysis weeks before his death.
10:27May 26, 2010.
10:30Utah Valley Hospital.
10:328 AM.
10:34Two days before Gary's death.
10:37He is having his 4-hour dialysis session.
10:42Dialysis is used to clean impurities from the blood.
10:45It functions like a mechanical kidney.
10:48The blood passes through a machine and the impurities are filtered out.
10:53Then the purified blood is pumped back into the body.
10:57I know that Gary had a kidney transplant when he was 5 years old.
11:01But I see here that at age 14, at the height of his fame, he suffered kidney failure after his transplant.
11:10So he had to undergo autodialysis before another organ could be found for him.
11:16But there is no rest for Gary, who continues to work long hours on the program.
11:22In the world of television series, you have to work for hours, 15 hours a day.
11:27And because he became a star, he might have to work harder than the doctors would have liked.
11:40In 1984, Gary received a second transplant.
11:45But this transplant only lasted for 13 months.
11:50And on New Year's Eve, 1985, he had to have that transplanted kidney removed.
11:57This meant that he had no functioning kidneys.
12:00And it explains why he was undergoing dialysis days before his death.
12:07Gary was so shaken by the loss of his second kidney that he wasn't interested in trying again.
12:16He didn't feel that science had developed enough to guarantee that he wouldn't have to say goodbye to...
12:23yet another kidney.
12:25Losing a transplanted organ is very traumatic.
12:28Gary went through this twice, so it must have been very difficult for him.
12:33Because the alternative he chose, to undergo dialysis for the rest of his life,
12:39This is proof of the loss he felt when those two transplants were unsuccessful.
12:46From then on, Gary underwent dialysis for the rest of his life.
12:51Since I met him, he had been undergoing dialysis three times a week.
12:55And everything revolved around dialysis.
12:58But he didn't complain about those things.
13:01He faced what he had to face, which was an interesting part of his personality.
13:07He didn't expect them to have compassion.
13:13When we were filming with Gary, after he had come off dialysis,
13:18Seriously, he was the best Gary possible, you know?
13:22He was energetic, vibrant, he was really all in.
13:26And then you would see a decline.
13:29But dialysis is not a long-term solution.
13:32The average life expectancy of someone on dialysis is 5 to 10 years.
13:38And Gary depended on her for over 25 years.
13:43Toxins accumulate in the bloodstream and are distributed to all vital organs.
13:50If these organs are damaged or eventually stop functioning, it's the end of the line.
13:56Three days a week, for the rest of his life, he would sit there with a tube stuck in his chest, having to do
14:04dialysis.
14:05And it must have been incredibly difficult to live with that.
14:09Infection is another risk of dialysis because it requires frequent access to the bloodstream.
14:16People who undergo dialysis for a long time often have surgically created vascular channels.
14:21to allow easier access to the bloodstream.
14:25This happens because the veins would rupture after so many needle pricks.
14:30This method is also effective in reducing the risk of infection.
14:34And Gary was on dialysis for 25 years.
14:37So, obviously, this is the type of vascular access I would expect to find.
14:43However, in 2009, a year before his death, Gary was using a catheter.
14:49which is a short-term access method.
14:51It is not usually recommended to use it for more than three weeks.
14:56I have no information as to why this is.
14:59But I suspect it was due to a problem in the surgically created vascular channel.
15:04Therefore, a catheter was the only available option.
15:09He always took great care to make sure that everything and everyone was clean.
15:15so that he wouldn't catch any infection.
15:19This has always been a major concern for him.
15:24Studies show that patients who use the catheter method instead of other techniques
15:29To gain access to blood, they face a much higher risk of dying from infection.
15:38This occurs because bacteria, some of which are resistant to antibiotics,
15:43They can travel through the catheter and enter the bloodstream.
15:46resulting in a fatal complication.
15:48Could a fatal complication from Gary's dialysis have caused him to collapse?
15:54Did hitting his head cause his death?
16:01In 2009, Gary had a very bad infection because of his dialysis catheter.
16:08And she was never truly cured.
16:12It was painful, and it always bothered him.
16:18I had to be very careful.
16:20He was making a movie in Texas, he went on dialysis and got sick.
16:23He had an infection that lasted for weeks.
16:26Although Gary had several infections throughout his life because of dialysis,
16:31There is nothing in the medical records to suggest that his death was related.
16:36to prevent a catheter-related infection or any other type of complication.
16:41It's clear that Gary took dialysis very seriously.
16:45And without her, he would have died much younger.
16:49It was something he needed to do to survive.
16:53There was nothing to discuss about it.
16:57May 26, 2010.
17:0012:40 PM.
17:04Exhausted after his 4-hour dialysis session,
17:07Gary returns home and finds his partner Shannon in bed watching TV.
17:14One of the major complications of not having functioning kidneys
17:18It is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
17:21Stress is also a major contributing factor to heart disease.
17:25And we know that Gary was under a lot of stress.
17:29Gary's popularity is growing, as is his work.
17:33His schedule is exhausting.
17:36He didn't just work on the Arnold series.
17:38Gary worked all year round.
17:40He basically worked non-stop.
17:43And he still had to deal with his physical limitations.
17:46and their health problems.
17:49And all these things were, without a doubt, very intimidating for him, so to speak.
17:55Gary's frustrations reach their peak.
17:57And he begins to demand more freedom for his character.
18:01Gary started talking much more about his dissatisfaction.
18:05About feeling somewhat trapped.
18:07He wanted to have a more creative voice in the creative process and in the program's dialogue.
18:16Gary was playing a character much younger than he was.
18:19So, while in real life he was growing emotionally and physically,
18:24On TV, he was stagnant.
18:27This must have created a great deal of internal conflict within him.
18:31He was a young adult who was seen as a child by everyone around him.
18:36Gary's insistence on using his real age causes the audience to drop.
18:41And in 1986, Arnold was cancelled.
18:44When the Arnold series ended, Gary was retiring from showbiz.
18:48He was exhausted.
18:51Achieving fame as a child and having to deal with that self-understanding.
18:55It amplifies this notion of not having a private and personal life.
18:59It's something that can be very bad, not only at the moment, but later, as an adult as well.
19:05For a child star, when the job is no longer fun,
19:10There are people around her who are pressuring her to continue.
19:14Then, resentment grows.
19:17That feeling of losing your childhood can manifest as a "screw it all" attitude.
19:22But it's not just the pressure of being a child star that takes its toll.
19:27When Arnold dies, it is estimated that Gary will have amassed an incredible fortune of 18 million dollars.
19:35When Gary turned 18, much of the money he expected to see in his account,
19:42It simply wasn't there.
19:44Gary believes his parents and advisors cheated him out of his hard-earned money.
19:50I think Gary's parents, like anyone else, would,
19:55They didn't think that, well...
19:57Hey, we need to save some money because one day this river of money will dry up.
20:04In 1993, Gary successfully sued his parents.
20:09But after legal costs, he reportedly returns home with less than $500,000.
20:16Gary ended up suing his parents because he believed they were mismanaging his money.
20:22That must have been devastating for him.
20:24These were the people who, in his mind, supported him.
20:28If we can't trust the people close to us, it affects our relationships.
20:32not only professionally but also personally in the future.
20:35But Gary's financial problems are just the beginning.
20:38His constant health problems continue to plague him.
20:44I know from Gary's medical history that he had cardiomegaly and had to have surgery because of it.
20:53October 2009.
20:55Utah Valley Hospital.
20:57One year before his death.
20:59Gary undergoes heart surgery to replace his aortic valve.
21:05It's a long and complicated procedure.
21:07Gary actually had several heart surgeries that people don't even know about.
21:14People with kidney failure have excess fluid in their bodies that should be eliminated by the kidneys.
21:21The heart has to work much harder to pump blood and excess fluids throughout the body.
21:27And like a muscle, it grows, the valves weaken, and the risk of cardiac arrest increases.
21:37Replacing the aortic valve was his only option.
21:40It was endless.
21:42Multiple doctors, multiple hospitalizations, and all of that was expensive.
21:50That's why he needed to keep working in show business so badly to pay for all of that.
21:56Gary clearly suffered from several heart problems, but I don't see any mention in the medical records that he had...
22:04He suffered a heart attack due to an enlarged heart.
22:06Therefore, I don't believe Gary's cardiovascular problems are related to his death.
22:13But I found something else in his past that is concerning and raises serious questions about his mental state.
22:22April 18, 2009, 13 months before his death.
22:27After a nasty fight with Shannon, Gary makes an impulsive decision.
22:31She has no choice but to call the police.
22:35When the police arrived, they found him in a room upstairs.
22:42Standing on the bed, with an electrical wire tied to the bed and the other end wrapped around it four times.
22:51of the neck.
22:53He said he wanted to kill himself, and when the police officer said, "No, let me help you, let me take this off," he said.
22:59From you.
23:00Gary said, "No, let me die, I want to die, I want to die."
23:04But this is not the first time Gary has tried to kill himself.
23:10That pressure in Gary's life became immeasurable from time to time.
23:15And, if I'm not mistaken, he must have been around 13 or 14 years old when he attempted suicide.
23:23first time.
23:26It was more than he could bear having to get up every morning and face health problems at the same time.
23:34with all the pressure of being Arnold Jackson.
23:38Growing health problems are not Gary's only concern.
23:43He can't get any more papers and the money runs out.
23:55He would have loved to have worked more, but there weren't that many roles for him.
24:00At 31 years old, Gary is forced to make a very difficult public statement.
24:06Making a public statement was my only reasonable option.
24:11He has no choice but to accept a job as a security guard on a Hollywood movie set.
24:17Gary talked about becoming a security guard because he didn't have much money and needed a job.
24:25Doing something that had a purpose was important to him, and all the ridicule he suffered for having it was also important.
24:31Becoming security was terrible.
24:34Dude, get out of our car!
24:42People reacted as if he were that iconic character, Arnold.
24:48I think he didn't want to be a well-known person anymore at that point.
24:53He just wanted to be left in peace.
24:56Being one of the biggest stars in the United States and having to work as a security guard must have been extremely difficult for...
25:06Gary.
25:07It must have affected his ego and self-esteem.
25:09He wanted to be seen for who he was.
25:13He wanted to distance himself from that childish Arnold Jackson persona.
25:17But the audience was fixated on that.
25:19All these things caused a perfect storm in which no matter which direction he looked, he became depressed, he
25:27He was sad and wanted to run away.
25:30In 2010, child star Gary Coleman died after collapsing and hitting his head at his home in Utah.
25:39No one knows for sure how the fatal impact occurred.
25:44Now, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter is investigating and has discovered evidence suggesting that Gary may have taken his own life.
25:52life.
25:53I've already ruled out complications from dialysis and heart problems as the direct cause of Gary's death.
26:01However, I discovered that he has a history of suicide attempts that began in 1982.
26:11I see that he tried to kill himself again in July 2007.
26:17He called the police and reported that he had overdosed on oxycodone and wanted to die.
26:24Oxycodone is a strong, controlled analgesic.
26:27It's an opioid, like heroin, meaning it's a depressant.
26:31If you take too much, your brain shuts down and your body forgets to breathe.
26:36Could it be that Gary took so many pills that he passed out, fell, and hit his head?
26:44May 26th, 12:48 PM, two days before his death.
26:50Shannon asks Gary to come downstairs and make her something to eat.
26:55Shortly after he left the room, she heard a loud noise and immediately went to investigate.
27:04Shannon finds Gary lying on the kitchen floor with blood streaming from his head.
27:09Shocked by the scene, she runs upstairs and calls emergency services.
27:16This is the original audio of the call she made.
27:271:05 PM.
27:29As instructed by the emergency services, Shannon returns to the kitchen and gives Gary a towel to stop the bleeding.
27:461:15 PM.
27:48A police officer is the first to arrive at the scene.
27:52He tends to Gary's wound while waiting for the paramedics.
27:56Gary is barely conscious and doesn't remember what happened.
28:02At 1:30 PM, Gary manages to walk with assistance to the ambulance.
28:08He is rushed to the hospital.
28:13Reading the police report, I see that Gary had a 5-centimeter laceration on the back of his head.
28:21This type of injury is quite unusual, resulting from a simple fall.
28:28However, I think that fall had nothing to do with Gary taking prescription painkillers.
28:35Since I didn't find any trace of oxycodone in the investigation reports.
28:41And more importantly, there are accounts from before the suicide attempts that indicate Gary never really wanted to.
28:50to take one's own life.
28:53Gary came up to me and said, "Hey, I took a bunch of pills and..."
29:00I... I tried to commit suicide.
29:04So, could it be... that Gary was seeking attention?
29:08Absolutely yes.
29:11If he actually took something that could cause death, no.
29:16I think it was just a cry for help, you know?
29:20Because of the state of depression he was living in.
29:25Was Gary's discouragement genuine?
29:28Undoubtedly.
29:29Was his despair real?
29:32Undoubtedly.
29:33Did he really want to die?
29:35No.
29:39I think suicide attempts should be taken seriously.
29:43The notion that perhaps there is a part of the person that still wants to live is certainly real for many.
29:50people.
29:50But to reach the point where the only way to communicate your sadness is to declare it out loud.
29:57The idea that I'd rather be dead than feel this way.
30:01It's something he was saying loud and clear over and over again.
30:07May 27th, noon.
30:1024 hours before his death.
30:14Gary has been recovering in a hospital for 24 hours, but doctors are still monitoring him closely.
30:21At that moment, Gary was conscious and lucid and was recovering from his head injury.
30:28His state of health would give me no reason to worry.
30:354 p.m., 20 hours before his death.
30:40Gary's condition suddenly deteriorates and he loses consciousness.
30:46At some point, he goes into cardiac arrest and the doctors struggle to save him.
31:02His heart starts beating again, but Gary is now unable to breathe on his own and is put on a ventilator.
31:17Approximately 48 hours after his head injury, doctors informed his partner that he had suffered brain death and no longer lived.
31:25There is nothing more that can be done.
31:28Shortly before noon on May 28, Shannon Price makes the decision to turn off the machines.
31:41At 12:11 pm, Gary Coleman died with his partner Shannon and his family by his side.
32:02I was at my hotel in London.
32:05My phone rang and it was a TV program wanting me to comment.
32:11I said, "What are you talking about?"
32:13Well, he's in a hospital, and then, during the conversation, she said,
32:19Oh, he died.
32:24And it was a surprise.
32:27And it was very sad.
32:29To say I was devastated the moment I found out he had passed away would be an understatement.
32:41I was in my office and it was sad, I was very sad.
32:45It wasn't unexpected, but it was certainly sad.
32:49Something was very, very wrong, you know.
32:57It's surprising that Gary went from a stable condition after a fall to death in a matter of years.
33:05of days.
33:06So, if I really want to unravel the mystery surrounding Gary's death, I need to answer two crucial questions.
33:14First, why did Gary's condition deteriorate so quickly in the hospital?
33:19And secondly, why did he fall in the first place?
33:23To answer the first question, I found an official document, released by the hospital,
33:29which says he suffered an intracranial hemorrhage, which is bleeding in the brain.
33:36Tiny veins between the surface of the brain and its outer membrane rupture, causing blood to pool.
33:43The pressure increases, compressing the brain tissue.
33:46And if it is not treated quickly, it can lead to brain damage and death.
33:51But Gary received medical attention quickly.
33:54And an intracranial hemorrhage is not a death sentence.
33:58So why did he die?
34:01I think the answer is related to his heart problems.
34:06After surgery such as aortic valve replacement,
34:10Patients typically take blood-thinning medication for the rest of their lives.
34:14And this can turn even the smallest head injuries into something fatal.
34:20Internal bleeding is much more difficult to control.
34:24because the blood has lost its ability to clot.
34:28But I still don't know what caused the injury that ultimately led to Gary's death.
34:34Some pointed the finger and blamed the person closest to him.
34:39With her animosity and domineering spirit,
34:44He should have run away and hidden.
34:47Their financial situation was very bad.
34:53Some say he was worth much more to her dead than alive.
35:00I never forgave her for turning off the machines.
35:03He didn't have the right and he did it very quickly.
35:07To properly understand how Gary died,
35:10I need to solve the mystery of how he suffered the head injury.
35:18Some believe the injury resulted from a fight with his partner Shannon.
35:23It wouldn't be the first time the couple had assaulted each other.
35:26They weren't happy for very long.
35:29They fought like children.
35:30The couple's troubled relationship leads to both of them being arrested for domestic violence.
35:35Gary Coleman is in the chaos of being a Utah citizen.
35:38He was arrested for possession of a weapon related to domestic violence.
35:42She was strong, she was dominant.
35:45I think she was part of a relationship that perhaps, well,
35:49Perhaps it wasn't the best thing for Gary.
35:51Because he kind of let her control him.
35:54After Gary died, rumors quickly began to circulate.
35:58Even the American press is speculating about the cause of his death.
36:02And there is still no clear answer as to how he suffered and how he had so much blood.
36:08The police report says they questioned Shannon Price about the incident.
36:14and that police searched the kitchen looking for signs of a crime.
36:18Because there was head trauma, the medical examiner conducted an investigation.
36:23but found nothing suspicious.
36:26In other words, I'm ruling out domestic violence as the cause of Gary's death.
36:32But I finally found the clue I was looking for.
36:36And it comes from Gary himself, in images taken shortly before he died.
36:41In them, he states that they prescribed phenytoin for him.
36:46which is an anticonvulsant medication.
36:49Just as a circuit breaker trips when it is overloaded,
36:54Seizures are caused by an electrical overload in the brain.
36:59Neurotransmitters fire messages at a much higher rate.
37:02The brain can't keep up and shuts down.
37:07January 2010.
37:09Five months before Gary's death.
37:12He is recovering in a hospital after having a seizure at a hotel in Los Angeles.
37:17He's in town to promote what is supposedly his last film.
37:22He left the next day and was...
37:26He was very, very weak.
37:28He was walking with a cane and...
37:31Yeah, you could clearly see a decline in his health at that point, you know?
37:38Gary suffered another seizure in February 2010.
37:43Just three months before his death.
37:48This indicates that Gary had a history of seizures.
37:52And this is not uncommon in people who have non-functioning kidneys.
37:56After examining all the clues,
37:59Dr. Hunter finally manages to describe what Gary Coleman's last hours were like.
38:04Gary returned home from his dialysis session.
38:08Probably tired and weak.
38:12He went downstairs to prepare a meal for his partner, Shannon.
38:17He started to feel dizzy.
38:20Inside his brain, an electrical storm of activity was taking place.
38:25Disordered chemical messages cause an imbalance that leads to a seizure.
38:31Gary fainted and hit the back of his head on the hard kitchen floor.
38:36The sudden blow tore the skin and burst the blood vessels that run along the surface of the brain.
38:43Blood began to accumulate in the space between the skull and the brain.
38:48Then Gary was taken to the hospital.
38:51He arrived conscious and lucid.
38:54But inside his skull, the anticoagulant he was probably taking prevented the blood from clotting and the
39:02The bleeding continued.
39:04As blood accumulates, it puts pressure on the brain.
39:08This limits the supply of oxygen-rich blood to brain tissue, causing further swelling.
39:14As this continues, the brain swells and, without oxygen, begins to die.
39:22Brain function rapidly declines.
39:24At some point, he went into cardiac arrest.
39:35Gary was brain dead.
39:41The doctors would never have allowed the machines to be turned off if there had been any chance of him surviving.
39:49The decision to turn off the machines has been made.
39:53And at 12:11 pm, he died.
40:04Gary was a fighter.
40:06He wanted to live.
40:07He was enjoying life.
40:10Despite all the challenges, he wasn't ready to leave.
40:17We expect so much from the children who work in this industry.
40:21And then, after they grow up, sometimes she's cruel.
40:25And that's the tragic side of fame.
40:27The great irony of Gary's life is that he will always be remembered for the character he wanted to forget.
40:35I don't think he ever said anything positive about those years doing the Arnold Classic for me.
40:42I think it was a torment for him.
40:45And I think that's very sad.
40:47But to his friends and fans, Gary Coleman will always be the lovable Arnold Jackson.
40:54I would love for Gary to be remembered as someone who truly entertained us and as someone who gave us hope.
41:03with your program.
41:06This is Gary's legacy.
41:09I think, without a doubt, he gave that to all of us, and that's the greatest gift any artist or
41:16Any human being can leave something for us to appreciate.
