According to the Associated Press, Police confirmed Wednesday that “Diff’rent Strokes” actor Gary Coleman’s death has been ruled an accident.
Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard said an autopsy found Coleman died of natural causes after an accidental fall. The finding matches the evidence police found at Coleman’s Santaquin home on May 26, Howard told The Associated Press.
The state medical examiner’s conclusions bring the police investigation into the death to a close, Howard said.
The 42-year-old actor died at a Provo hospital two days after his fall. He was taken off life support after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
An e-mail message sent to a spokeswoman for Coleman’s former wife, Shannon Price, who made the decision to remove him from life support, was not immediately returned late Wednesday.
