Sorry, to hear that. He has had such a tormented life. I pray that he recovers and that life will be good for him.

This sounds like the last roundup. A fall with a head injury, followed by lucidness and then loss of consciousness indicates a brain bleed. The prognosis for this is not good.

That’s my take on it too, if we got the straight scoop on his problems.

On the final Celebrity Apprentice, he walked with a limp. Then a few days later on American Idol, he appeared without a limp looking great.

Sorry to hear about Coleman. Hope he has a speedy turn-around, although I realize the prognosis isn’t very good.

As others have said, 42 is too soon to go.

Sad. How does a brain hemorrhage happen? Is it ill health, a freak thing, I mean, he was short but never seemed to be a hard living fellow.

How does a brain hemorrhage happen?

A shock to the head can tear a fragile blood vessel. If it is a small one, it can take time to show symptoms. By that time, it may be too late. Liam Neeson's wife had a skiing accident that progressed down that path.

pretty sure he had kidney problems as a child, one reason why he’s only 4’8” or so
