The ‘Different Strokes’ star was dealing with a lot of ailments like autoimmune kidney disease and glomerulosclerosis.

After the May 26 incident Gary’s wife became the prime murder suspect.

However the State Medical Examiner’s autopsy report will bring the tragic incident to a close. The 42-year–old actor died at a Provo hospital two day s after his fall.
