Coleman died from fall, renal failure
SALT LAKE CITY, June 15 (UPI) -- Gary Coleman's death certificate lists the cause of the former U.S. child star's death as a fall, with chronic renal failure as a contributing factor.
The document, which categorized the 42-year-old actor's May 28 death as an accident, was made public Monday, UsMagazine.com reported.
The one-time "Diff'rent Strokes" star, whose congenital kidney disease had halted his growth at 4-feet-8-inches, underwent 4 hours of dialysis treatment hours before he hit his head, which led to a brain hemorrhage, the Web site said.
Funeral plans for Coleman have been announced and rescheduled more than once. At this point, no plans for a memorial have been made public while Coleman's ex-wife and former manager battle over who has control of Coleman's estate.
Judge: MJ's doctor can keep license
LOS ANGELES, June 15 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles judge says he can't suspend Dr. Conrad Murray's medical license as Murray awaits trial on a charge connected to Michael Jackson's death.
The 50-year-old pop star died June 25, 2009, of a propofol overdose.
Murray, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, has said he administered the anesthesia to Jackson to help him sleep, but has not admitted any wrongdoing.
The Los Angeles Times said LA Superior Court Judge Michael E. Pastor -- at a hearing Monday attended by Murray and Jackson's parents, Joe and Katherine -- denied the California state medical board's request that Murray's license to practice medicine be suspended.
Pastor noted another judge previously restricted Murray's use of the anesthesia propofol and other strong anesthetics as part of his bail conditions, and said he could not amend those conditions unless there was a change in circumstances, the Times said.
