On May 26, 2010, Coleman was admitted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah, after falling, hitting his head, and suffering an epidural hematoma at his home in Santaquin, Utah. He was announced to be in critical condition. According to a hospital spokesman, Coleman was 'conscious and lucid' on the morning of Thursday May 27, but his condition subsequently worsened. By mid-afternoon on May 27, 2010, Coleman was unconscious and on life support. He died at 12:05 p.m. MDT (18:05 UTC) on May 28, 2010.
The off-Broadway cast of Avenue Q dedicated the May 28, 2010, production of the show to Coleman, with Danielle K. Thomas, who portrays Coleman in the musical, paying tribute to him from the stage at the show's end. Coleman's widow, Shannon Price, said on May 29, 2010 that she was very grateful to her husband's fans for all their love and support during this difficult time; she stated that when Coleman's death was announced, thousands of emails were sent in filled with support and sympathy.
