Gary Coleman of Diff'rent Strokes fame was admitted to a Provo, Utah hospital earlier today after falling in his Santaquin, Utah home.
Popeater.com reported that the former child actor's brother-in-law claimed Coleman suffered a head injury in that fall. Coleman is reportedly in critical condition, but no further updates have been given on the actor as of press time.
Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank confirmed that Coleman, 42, was admitted to the Provo facility on Wednesday but did not release any other details.
The pint-sized actor suffered two seizures earlier this year, first in January 6, then another in February while he was on the set of 'The Insider.'
Coleman met his wife, Shannon Price, on the movie set of "Church Ball," a comedy based on basketball leagues formed by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and married her in 2007. The two have experienced a few marital woes since their 2007 nuptials that landed the duo on the cover of many gossip tabloids.
In addition to health woes, Coleman's legal troubles led to his arrest in January at his Utah home after he failed to appear in court for a domestic violence warrant. The domestic violence charges were later dropped, and he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal mischief charge. He was ordered to take a domestic violence class and pay a $595 fine.
Coleman is best known for his role as Arnold, the adopted son of a New York City millionaire opposite troubled actor Todd Bridges and the late Dana Plato who placed Coleman's older adopted sister, Kimberly. The sitcom, Diff'rent Strokes," aired from 1978 to 1986.
