Gary Coleman dies at age 42

Gary Coleman, the child star of the TV sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, died Friday after suffering an intercranial hemorrhage. He was 42.
Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank says life support was terminated and Coleman died at 12:05 p.m.

Coleman was hospitalized Wednesday after falling and suffering a head injury at his home south of Salt Lake City, according to family members.

For a while, it seemed that Gary Coleman's cherubic face was everywhere, from TV to T-shirts to lunchboxes.

PHOTOS: A look back at Coleman's life

On Diff'rent Strokes, he played precocious Arnold Jackson, who, with his brother Willis (Todd Bridges), was adopted by a wealthy, white Manhattan man (Conrad Bain) and his daughter (Dana Plato).

Coleman's pudgy cheeks and flawless comic timing made him the break-out star of the popular series, which ran from 1978-86.

His signature line, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" became a national catchphrase.

But Coleman's bright beginnings were overshadowed by domestic disputes, legal troubles and health issues. Coleman was born with a congenital kidney disease that resulted in his small stature. He had two kidney transplants and required frequent dialysis.

At the height of Diff'rent Strokes' popularity, Coleman reportedly received up to $100,000 an episode. Beginning in 1980, he won four consecutive People's Choice Awards as Favorite Young TV Performer

He parlayed his prime-time success into steady work in TV guest spots, made-for-TV movies and feature films, including On the Right Track and The Kid with the Broken Halo. The latter inspired the animated TV series The Gary Coleman Show.

But in the years after Diff'rent Strokes, Coleman was in the headlines more often for his off-screen troubles than for his acting.

In 1989, he successfully sued his parents and former advisers for misappropriation of his trust fund, which had dwindled. He was awarded $1.3 million.

In 1999, Coleman filed for bankruptcy, blaming his troubles on financial mismanagement.

In 1998, while working as a security guard, he was charged with assault for hitting a woman who had been seeking an autograph. He pleaded no contest and received a suspended sentence.

In 2007 he was cited for disorderly conduct after arguing with his wife, Shannon Price, whom he married that August. They had met on the set of the 2006 comedy Church Ball.

In 2008, he and Price appeared on the syndicated TV show Divorce Court in an attempt to save their marriage.

But last year, the two were involved in a domestic dispute which resulted in Price being arrested and both receiving disorderly conduct citations.

And he recently settled a lawsuit with a man he allegedly hit with his car outside a Utah bowling alley in 2008.

In January, Coleman was arrested for failure to appear in court for an unspecified earlier charge.

Coleman's troubles led him to be the butt of jokes for comedians and he even inspired a character by the same name in the Tony-winning musical Avenue Q.

Through it all, Coleman maintained his perspective and sense of humor. "I parody myself every chance I get," he said. "I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist."

Despite his real-life travails, Coleman will remain an '80s TV icon, a quick-witted boy whose onscreen charm lives on in television syndication.

Gary Coleman was bleeding and 'bubbling at the mouth' after accident, wife reveals in 911 call

Wednesday, June 2nd 2010, 8:05 PM

Gary Coleman was bleeding profusely and "bubbling at the mouth" after the mysterious kitchen accident that preceded his sudden death, his panic-stricken wife told a 911 dispatcher.

"I heard this big bang. I went downstairs, (and there was) blood everywhere. I don't know if he's okay. I'm not down there right now because I have seizures if I get stressed out," the tragic TV star's wife Shannon Price said when she summoned help to the couple's Utah home a week ago.

Coleman, 42, was rushed to a hospital and died Friday from a suspected brain hemorrhage.

"His head is bloody. There's blood all over the floor. I don't know what happened," Price said on the 911 tape released Wednesday. "Send someone quick because I don't even know if he's going to be alive. There's a lot of blood on the floor. …He's was like bubbling at the mouth."

Price, 24, said she wasn't sure if he    had a seizure or accidentally fell while making her a snack while she waited in the bedroom.

The dispatcher asked Price to return to Coleman's side to check on his condition.

"He's moving," she said. "Gary are you okay? Stay where you are. Don't move Gary."

Price described Coleman as "lethargic" and said he didn't understand when she told him to put pressure on his head wound.

"I looked at the back of his head, and it's all bloody and gross," she said. "He's conscious, but he's not, like, with it."

She said he wasn't convulsing when she found him.

"I just don't want him to die. I'm freaking out, like, really bad," she said.

At one point Coleman stood up, and the dispatcher told Price he should sit down until help arrived.

"What's wrong?" Coleman is heard saying in the background.

"Look at the floor. Sit down," Price ordered him. "I'm gagging. I got blood on myself. I can't deal."

Coleman suffered a 1 to 1.25-inch laceration on his head from the accident, according to a police report obtained by the Daily News.

The "Diff'rent Strokes" star had no recollection when questioned at the scene, the report said, and nothing appeared suspicious.

"I asked if he hit his head on the floor or the kitchen counter or where, and he again told me did not remember," a responding officer from the Santaquin Police Department reported.

Coleman was able to walk with assistance to a waiting gurney in the couple's garage, the report said.

He was lucid the following morning but began losing consciousness last Thursday afternoon, hospital officials said.

He was removed from life support Friday.

Funeral services are planned in Salt Lake City this weekend, the Associated Press reports.

The victim of congenital kidney disease, Coleman underwent two kidney transplants by the time he was 14.

Transplant drugs stunted his growth and caused the eternal child-like appearance that both fueled and undercut his success.

Coleman starred in eight seasons of "Diff'rent Strokes" as the chubby-cheeked Arnold Jackson but struggled when the series ended in 1986.

He sued his parents for mishandling his trust fund, declared bankruptcy in 1999, admitted he once punched a woman who menacingly asked for an autograph and even worked a stint as a shopping mall security guard.

Gary Coleman was divorced from wife when she made the decision to end life support

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1283567/Gary-Coleman-divorced-wife-decision-end-life-support.html#ixzz0pm2q197s (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1283567/Gary-Coleman-divorced-wife-decision-end-life-support.html#ixzz0pm2q197s)

A new report adds controversy to Gary Coleman's death - with the revelation that the late actor was divorced from Shannon Price, who portrayed herself to hospital officials as his wife, at the time of his demise.

Entertainment Tonight reports that Coleman and Price legally divorced on August 12, 2008. The couple kept the filing secret, sealing the documents and using the names 'John Doe' and 'Jane Doe'.

The papers cite 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for divorce and state that no alimony was awarded, with all property going to Coleman.

The report throws into question Price's right to make the decision to end life support to Coleman. A hospital spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight: 'We had no indication that the information Shannon gave us was false. She portrayed herself as his wife.'

The star's adoptive parents, Sue and Willie Coleman, who had been estranged from their son for more than a decade, are demanding to know the exact circumstances surrounding his death.

An investigation is still open, but a police source insists it is not being treated as suspicious.

Coleman suffered a brain hemorrhage after a fall last Wednesday at his Salt Lake City home. He was lucid until midday Thursday when he slipped into a coma. Coleman died at a Utah hospital after being taken off life support on Friday. He was 42.

The chilling 911 call made by Price as she begged for help was released on Wednesday.

An obviously distressed Price can be heard telling the call handler there's 'blood everywhere' as Coleman moans in the background.

The 24-year-old begs the handler to make the ambulance hurry, but says she feels unable to help Coleman herself, adding: 'I'm gagging. I've got blood on myself. I can't deal.'

In her 911 call Shannon tells the operator: 'My husband just got home. I heard a big bang.

'I went down, there's blood everywhere.'

Although Coleman was still conscious at this point, Price says he is 'out of it'.

In last Wednesday's call, released on website TMZ, Shannon describes a 'gory' gash on the back of Coleman's head, and says he is 'bubbling at the mouth'.

The call handler urges her to press the wound with a towel to stem the blood flow, but Shannon says she feels unable to touch it.

But she does hand Gary a towel and tell him to stay seated, at the handler's instruction.

Help arrives at their Utah home within six minutes, when Shannon ends the call.

Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard said Coleman had a dialysis treatment that day.

The 4ft 8in star's growth was stunted by a congenital kidney defect and he had also had two kidney transplants.

Coleman's agent today said the late actor's family is planning a memorial service, but they haven't yet decided whether it will be open to fans.

Shielia Erickson says they hope to hold the service on Friday, Saturday or Sunday in Salt Lake City.

Coleman starred in the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes as the pint-sized Arnold Jackson in the late 1970s and 1980s.

At first I was very sad to hear the news about Gary.  And then I read the above articles, and was astounded at the many odd things about his death. 

Starting with the 911 call.  Everything we've learned about 911 calls in the missing/murdered cases in this site, has sent red flags down all over the place.  Seems 'something ain't right' with all this! 

Then learned that Gary and wife have been divorced for nearly 2 years, and yet in the 911 call she refers to herself as his wife.  'Acted as' his wife when she made the decision to pull the plug.  But....... did she have the authority to do so? 

Was thinking last night that I really REALLY hope that there are red flags going down for LE, and they will start investigating.  Very glad to read the following article am gonna post, that they are indeed taking a second look.

I dunno what happened with Gary.  But it seems to me that all should be done to make sure that no one 'helped' him to his death.  Just saying.

   

Coleman Death Under Investigation as 911 Call is Released

Wednesday, 02 Jun 2010, 7:00 PM EDT

http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpps/entertainment/coleman-death-under-investigation-as-911-call-is-released-dpgonc-20100602-mh_7875589 (http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpps/entertainment/coleman-death-under-investigation-as-911-call-is-released-dpgonc-20100602-mh_7875589)

(NewsCore) - Gary Coleman’s death last week is now under investigation, according to a report Wednesday a few hours after the grisly 911 call was released.

Although the scene at Gary Coleman’s home the day he died was “nothing suspicious,” according to the police report obtained by TMZ Wednesday, a report at RadarOnline said the late child star’s body was turned over to medical examiners for investigation. The 42-year old Coleman died Friday from a brain hemorrhage after reportedly falling while leaving to prepare his wife some food.

“The state medical examiner’s office looks at cases to determine answers to questions,” Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank told Radar. She declined to elaborate further.

The 911 call from his wife Shannon Price was released earlier, painting a picture of the scene after Coleman’s fall. He was “bubbling at mouth,” Price told the dispatcher.

“There’s blood all over and I can’t do anything,” Price said.

Price resisted the dispatcher’s instructions on treating Coleman because she herself was gagging. At one point she said “I can’t deal.”

Later Wednesday TMZ reported Price and Coleman divorced two years ago, citing Coleman's divorce attorney. It was not immediately clear if she had legal power to make medical decisions for Coleman.

The official police report, also obtained by TMZ, noted that when Officer K Johnson arrived at the Utah home one week ago, there was “blood on the floor” but the late actor was still able to speak from the ground with a towel on the back of his head.

Shannon Price, Gary Coleman 911 Call

If there was ever a phone call that sends chills down my spine, this would be it. There is no concern, fear or stress in Shannon Price's voice nor in many of her actions. Shannon spends more time telling us about her problems than she shows or expresses concern for dying husband Gary. It is very clear she does not care if Gary dies. There is no doubt about that.

I will try to review this in the next day or so....

If there was ever a 911 call that sends chills down my spine, this would be it. There is no concern, fear or stress in Shannon Price's voice nor in many of her actions. Shannon spends more time telling us about her problems than she shows or expresses concern for dying husband, Gary. It is very clear she does not care if Gary lives or dies. At times, her response to get him help is so slow, you feel that she wants him to die. She leaves little doubt about it, actually. This 911 call is disturbing, and I think you can even hear Gary in the background saying, "Leave me alone! Leave me alone!"

I will try to review this in the coming days.

Shannon Price speaks out to TMZ http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=9b40664b-d0d9-4c83-974d-f8e6923325bb (http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=9b40664b-d0d9-4c83-974d-f8e6923325bb) (thanks, Celebitchy for the lead) and talks about her decision to pull the plug on Gary Coleman. I warn you she is beyond chilling!

When I watch Price, I am instantly reminded of Stacey Castor who was featured on 20/20 last week and who is known as the "black widow". It's something about their demeanor.

Price gives off serious indications of someone who doesn't even know or understand what empathy is. There isn't a tear in her eye when she talks about pulling the plug on Coleman. her eyes aren't puffy and she is even animated her chat with TMZ, which does not support a person who is grieving. She talks about Gary as if he were a piece of meat, not a human life about to be extinguished. I thought Michael Schiavo was cold, but she makes him look hot, warm and fuzzy!

Price says, "I've had a lot of people say, 'yeah, she pushed him', this and that, you know people are so cruel, they don't even know! I was upstairs, he was downstairs [expression of disgust]. How am I going to push him?"

This is ludicrous. We do not know where she was when this happened. All we have is her word, which I wouldn't put one cent on, frankly. She is colder than a nail in a freezer, frankly. Her emotions do not match her situation one iota!

Price says, "Why would I hurt my husband? Are you kidding?"

Is this supposed to convince us? It does nothing for me, whatsoever.

Listen to Price try to convince us that Gary was going to die or be useless no matter what! Price says:

    You know, the doctors told us, even if they did surgery on him, he would have died. He would have bled to death during the surgery. And they said even if they did take a chunk out of his brain, he would not be the same. He would be basically be like... Muhammad Ali. He wouldn't be, you know...and....and...I mean he would have died sooner or later anyway from that... because its so..because the brain, it so traumatic.

    I don't want people to be so hard on me thinking that, you know, I had to pull the plug too early. He wouldn't have made it anyway, his heart would have just given out........and I don't want people to think that I'm a BITCH, and that I didn't care about him, but you know, be in my situation. I mean look what happened with Terri Schiavo. I always think of her case when it comes to this. I mean, I mean Gary was gone, his eyes were dialated, he wasn't, you know, he wasn't...he was just gone (shoulder shrug)...and he's done a lot for me. He bought me a car...

Here are the things that stand out to me, outside of her trying to convince us he was going to die anyway, that she is very off and needs to be looked at with a magnifying glass:

       1. "I don't want people to be so hard on me thinking that, you know, I had to pull the plug too early." Who would think they ever pulled a plug too early, unless they had regrets, or had thought of this before? Hello! She certainly doesn't have regrets, does she? She's made that 100% clear.

       2. "I don't want people to think that I'm a BITCH, and that I didn't care about him, but you know, be in my situation." The word "but" as Dr. Phil always says means ignore everything I said before that and listen to what I have to say now....

       3. "I always think of her case [Terri Schiavo] when it comes to this." How many times has it "come to this" in her life? It's like she's been thinking about this potential, doesn't it?

This woman is cold, cunning, and creepy.

Shannon Price: 911 call for Gary Coleman

http://eyesforlies.blogspot.com/2010/06/shannon-price-911-call-for-gary-coleman.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EyesForLies+%28Eyes+for+Lies+Blog%29&utm_content=Twitter (http://eyesforlies.blogspot.com/2010/06/shannon-price-911-call-for-gary-coleman.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EyesForLies+%28Eyes+for+Lies+Blog%29&utm_content=Twitter)

I just looked closer at the 911 call made by Shannon Price when Gary Coleman was mortally injured. She is an interesting person because she is so cold, callous and unwilling to help Gary. It stands out like a sore thumb. Instead of helping him, she'd rather talk about how she is sick, how she can't be traumatized, how if she is stressed she will seize, how she can't help him because he is lethargic, etc.  It's nauseating.

What stands out to me in this 911 call outside of her callousness, is her lack of details about what happened. In the beginning when she talks to the operator, she says:

    "Um...um....I just found my… ah..I just had my husband go make me something downstairs, he just got home, I heard this big bang. I went downstairs. Blood everywhere."

Yet later, she says:

    "Head is bloody. There’s blood all over the floor. I don’t know what happened. I really don’t know what happened. I just heard this bang and I went down there, and he is on the floor and I…"

In her third recollection, she recalls different details:

    "I just asked him, Can you go make me some food, you know, and he's like yeah, yeah, and I….and he hit his head and I don't know...I know its from his head, though, cuz I looked at the back of his head, and its all bloody and gross and, you know."

And here is her last recollection:

    "I don’t know if he had a seizure, I don’t know if he just hit his head and fell, cuz I mean he was kind of like... he wasn’t like convulsing or anything."

How come one time she has a clear recollection and the another times she doesn't know anything? In the third version, there is absolutely no recall about Gary going down the stairs. This is highly notable. In the third version, she also seems to know conclusively he hit his head, too. How does she know that all of the sudden?

She also has a notable amount of false starts...that is she starts to say something and then stops, pauses and changes what she is about to say. In her first version of events, she says, "Um...um....I just found my… ah..I just had my husband go make me something..." In her third recollection, she starts to say "and I...and he hit his head." I wonder what she self-censored out here? In the last version of what happened, she almost tells us what he was like... but stops herself. Why?

Why doesn't she describe any of the details of hearing the bang, calling out for Gary, asking if he is okay, not getting a response and running down to find him in a pool of blood? Why are all these details missing?

You would think this would all stand out in her mind, because many people hear bangs and call out and ask a loved one, "Are you okay?" And when we don't hear a response, we jump up to investigate. Our heart skips a beat until we know things are okay! How many times have you experienced a false alarm and gotten mad at your spouse for the lack of a response--for making you worry needlessly? We remember the lack of a response, but Shannon doesn't. Why? This time it wasn't a false alarm!!

How did Shannon know it was so serious without calling out? I mean, wasn't she sick in bed? As she tells us she could barely stand, but she quickly ran down to check on Gary without calling out? I'm not buying it. You don't forget these details, when you are honest.

I also would expect her to have emotions of a person who discovered this gruesome scene. I would expect to hear shock, fear, terror, etc., but I don't. Why?

All of the details of what happened are eerily missing. Shannon gives us tidbits, but nothing of substances. It's highly notable.

I am stunned by the lack of emotional stress, too. Her voice is devoid of any fear, stress or concern. It's lackluster considering her circumstances. I would expect her to have some form of an adrenaline rush, but I hear nothing. I heard a little heavy breathing early on, but that dissipated quickly. I hear her talk as if she is almost bored at times, and other times it appears as if she is whining. I would not expect to hear that from a partner who just found their significant other in a pool of blood, unconscious, as she says.

Then later, she tells us he is moving around and again, we don't hear any hope, excitement, surprise, stun -- nothing. It's highly notable. It's almost as if she is complaining about it. She says, "He’s just sitt’n there. He’s sitting up now up now..." as if it is no big deal!

The way she says her name when the operator asks for it, it is unbelievable. It's like she is giving her name out for winning the lottery! It blew me away. She sounds almost chipper! You'd never know just hearing this that she was in the middle of a life and death crisis. It's like she flipped a lid on her behavior, for a second. People who are panicked, afraid, or fearful don't do this...

I also noted that she didn't use pronouns when she described things-- in the key time she should have a clear memory and when details should be there: "Head is bloody"--"Blood is everywhere." People who are often deceptive leave off pronouns. I've seen it many times.

Next, she tells the operator she can't help Gary for a variety of reasons, but one excuse is because if she gets stressed out she will have a seizure. Yet she had no problem, though, looking at the back of Gary's bloody head. She says, "I know its from his head, though, cuz I looked at the back of his head, and its all bloody and gross and, you know." Why didn't that stress her? She also didn't seem to have any stress going back to Gary several times. Isn't that inconsistent?

Why does she yell at Gary, "What's wrong?" as if he is perfectly fine? It's like he is annoying her by doing something. She tells us she thinks he might die, and then she yells what's wrong at him?? You hear anger in her voice when she says this. Why is she angry with him? Is that how you would feel if your loved one is gravely injured? She does not love this man or care if he dies, frankly. I don't think it takes any special talent to see this.

The timing of when she tells us Gary's wound is on the back his head is questionable, too. I was shocked she knew this information because she told us she couldn't handle being with Gary, but yet she strangely knew where his injury was. If he was all bloody and bleeding all over, how would she know where the injury was--especially if she couldn't handle the blood? Also, when did she discover this??? We never heard. Why? I would think that would be traumatic to see that, wouldn't you? In the first part of the 911 call, she didn't seem to know, then all of the sudden she did, yet we hear no trauma in between. It's very strange!

Here are the excuses Shannon uses when she is asked to help Gary:

   1.Operator: Is there any way you can go down there at all?
      Price: ….I’ll try, I don’t know, I mean…I can’t….

   2. Operator: Can you tell him to put pressure on the wound?
      Price: No, its on the back of his head.

   3. Operator: Can you go where he is and help him?
      Price: He’s lethargic, I can’t really …help him. I just need help quick.
 
   4. Operator: Can you tell him to try to put pressure on the back of his head?
      Price: No, can’t. It’s like all bloody and I’m not trying to do….He…He’s not with it.

Do these support a woman who is concern about someone who is injured?

I also found this statement very odd, "I'm just panicked. I don't know what to do...I'm dragg'n (?). I just frick'n....crazy person....hold on...." Why does she have all these false starts? Why does she say I just frick'n... What did she just do to call herself a crazy person? I don't even want to guess...

When I listen to this 911 call, my alarm bells are blaring that something isn't right. There are too many things that don't add up, that don't support what Shannon wants us to believe -- that Gary accidentally fell and she has no clue what happened. Shannon's behavioral evidence (my new term!!) suggests she knows more than she is telling us.... She is flat out inconsistent on too many levels to be believable, unless she is flat out mentally ill and unstable.

Gary Coleman's Ex -- All Smiles in the Wake of Death

Just hours after Shannon Price decided to pull the plug and end Gary Coleman's life -- the actor's ex-wife was already smiling and posing for photos.

TMZ has learned the photos seen here were taken on May 29 -- just one day after Gary died. The woman smiling with Shannon is Sheila Erickson -- an agent who worked with both Shannon and Gary.

The photos were taken around the same time she sat down with a camera crew and did an interview about Gary's death.

We're told Shannon wanted to do the interview "to get her side of the story out" -- amongst speculation that she may have killed Gary.

Coleman's Parents: We Want to Bring Gary Home

Jun 3rd 2010

http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/03/gary-coleman-parents-ex/ (http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/03/gary-coleman-parents-ex/)

Gary Coleman's parents, Sue and Willie, have officially lawyered up -- with the intention of bringing their son "home."

TMZ obtained a statement released by attorney Frederick Jackman, which says, "The Coleman's don't want to fight anyone ... They're hoping that by applying for Formal Probate, they can get through this process the right way."

The lawyer also stated, "I don't understand why so many people who knew Gary are being so secretive. The status of the divorce, whether or not anyone has a will, these are all issues that should be brought to the family's attention immediately."

The statement doesn't specify where they intend to bury their son.

Gary Coleman's Ex -- I Can't Afford His Funeral

Jun 3rd 2010

http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/03/gary-coleman-shannon-price-ex-wife-death-las-vegas-finances-money-life-insurance/ (http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/03/gary-coleman-shannon-price-ex-wife-death-las-vegas-finances-money-life-insurance/)

Gary Coleman's ex-wife had a passion ... for getting pampered and spending money in Las Vegas -- and now she's begging Gary's fans to help her with his funeral costs.

In an interview shot the day after Gary's death -- and obtained by TMZ -- Shannon Price talks an awful lot about money ... bragging that she "bought high-end stuff" during trips to Vegas.

Price also says she's hard up for cash now because Gary couldn't get life insurance -- due to his kidney condition.

Gary Coleman Police Report -- 'Nothing Suspicious'

Jun 2nd 2010

http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/02/gary-coleman-police-report-shannon-price-utah-nothing-suspicious/ (http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/02/gary-coleman-police-report-shannon-price-utah-nothing-suspicious/)

The police officer who responded to Gary Coleman's home on the day he was hospitalized claims he observed "nothing suspicious" about the scene at the actor's home, according to the police report.

In the report, obtained by TMZ, Officer K Johnson from the Santaquin PD in Utah writes that when he first arrived to the home, Gary's wife, Shannon Price, met him at the front door.

The officer claims Shannon directed him to  Gary -- but wouldn't accompany him to her injured husband because she didn't want to "see the blood on the floor."

The officer also notes when he spoke to Gary -- who was sitting on the ground with a towel on the back of his head -- the actor couldn't remember how he injured his head.

According to the report, Shannon told officers that the two had been in bed ... when she asked Gary to go downstairs and fix her some food. Shannon claimed Gary fell shortly after leaving the room.

Eventually, the officer claims Gary was able to walk -- with assistance -- to a waiting ambulance which transported him to a nearby hospital.

Gary died two days later.

I just want to note that the above article about the police report was what LE first said, that there were no suspicions.  They have since decided to investigate further.  Thank goodness! 

According to the police report, Shannon told officers that the two had been in bed ... when she asked Gary to go downstairs and fix her some food. Shannon claimed Gary fell shortly after leaving the room. 

And yet.......... in the first article upthread, it was reported that in her 911 call Shannon tells the operator: "My husband just got home. I heard a big bang. I went down, there's blood everywhere."

Why the different versions?  Had Gary just gotten home, hopped in bed, Shannon asked him to fix her something to eat, he got back up and went downstairs and then fell hitting his head?  If it didn't happen thatta way, then I dunno how else Shannon can pull the different versions of that night together. 

Am hoping that LE doesn't let her out of their sight!! 

Also re the above police report... What kind of person who supposedly 'cares' about their significant other, would not accompany the EMTs and/or officers to that injured person.. because they don't want to 'see the blood'.  ????????  IMO, *not* a person who truly cares for that injured one.  Wild horses couldn't drag me from a loved one who had been injured.  Blood or not.  The EMTs would likely have to ask me to plz step aside (ie: get outta the way) so they could attend to my loved one.

Friends and Co-Stars Remember Gary Coleman

TMZ spoke with several people who knew Gary Coleman. Here's what they said.


Conrad Bain
(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/ConradBain.jpg)

Bain, 87, (interviewed by TMZ shortly after Gary was hospitalized, and before his death).  Bain, who played Gary Coleman's sitcom father on "Diff'rent Strokes" tells TMZ he's aware of Gary's tragic situation -- and says he's "hoping and praying for his recovery."

Bain, who played Philip Drummond on the show -- tells us the two haven't spoken in years ... but with the recent reports, Gary is definitely in his thoughts.


Charlotte Rae
(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/charlotte_rae.jpg)

Rae, 84, tells TMZ "I said a prayer for him this morning after hearing about his condition. Gary was so loving, so charming. He was the big star of the show."  — Charlotte Rae

Gary Coleman's TV housekeeper is shocked and deeply saddened by his death -- especially because she got the tragic news shortly after hearing he was in the hospital. 

Rae -- who played Mrs. Garrett on "Diff'rent Strokes" -- said she saw a TV report this morning that Gary was hospitalized. A few hours later she got the news he had passed away.

Rae also starred in the "Diff'rent Strokes" spin-off, "The Facts of Life" -- which might never have happened without Gary's success. 


Traci Bingham
(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/traci_bingham.jpg)

“The sudden passing of Gary Coleman comes to a great shock. I was fortunate to have the honorable pleasure to work with him. I got to know him during my experience on ‘The Surreal Life.’ The moment he walked onto the set, we instantly bonded. I found him to be incredibly funny, intelligent, loving and outgoing. He always had such a positive outlook on life and people! Gary will truly be missed by the world and he will forever live on in my heart!! Gary, i love you! Xoxo Love always” — Traci Bingham


Vanilla Ice
(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/vanilla_ice.jpg)

Vanilla -- aka Robert Van Winkle -- tells us,“I’m shocked and deeply saddened. He was a great guy, a legend – everyone knows Gary Coleman. We had a good time on ‘Surreal Life.’ I’ll always remember the time he and I had. He was fun to be around for the most part. Just a good, funny guy. It's almost a Catch-22. He's had such a bad luck life ... I hope he's in a better place.” — Vanilla Ice

Turns out Vanilla and Gary hit it off when Coleman guest starred on an episode of "The Surreal Life" back in 2004 ... despite the fact that they got into an epic war on the show because Gary wouldn't say, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

(As of this interview) No memorial date has been set as of yet -- but Vanilla says "of course" he'll attend.


Danny Cooksey
(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/danny_cooksey.jpg)

“I really looked up to Gary … I’d watch him and learn … We shot in front of a live audience … He took me under his wing … I learned a tremendous amount from him. I would go over to his house and look at his train set. He was really into trains and had a huge room dedicated to his trains, but I couldn’t touch them. They were only for looking – the trains were Gary’s baby … Gary also had the full-on arcade version of ‘Spy Hunter,’ which in 1985 was a big deal.” — Danny Cooksey, step-brother Sam on “Diff’rent Strokes.”


Trishelle Cannatella
(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/trichelle_canatella.jpg)

“This is awful. I’m really sad by the news. I’m praying for his wife.” — Trishelle Cannatella, “Surreal Life”


Avenue Q
“On behalf of the Avenue Q family, we feel this is a great loss. In a way, we are with Gary Coleman everyday. His character on stage is humorous, but it also reflects great compassion and respects his place in the industry. In a small way, Gary is going to live on with the show.” — Steve Gabriel, producer “Avenue Q”


Midgets & Mascots
“He had a good heart. Underneath the exterior was a goodhearted guy.” — Ron Carlson, Director of “Midgets Vs. Mascots”

Gary Coleman's Parents Want Answers About His Death

By Jeff Mays on Jun 1st 2010

My mother has an expression that she always says to me and my siblings: "Give me my flowers while I'm alive." Maybe you've heard it from someone in your life. It means don't wait until a person is dead to show how much you care about them.

That expression came to mind when I heard about Gary Coleman's parents wanting to know more details about how he died. No matter how old a person gets, a parent always sees him or her as their child. Despite the fact that they've been estranged from their son for years, Sue and Willie Coleman felt the same way.

"We're not pointing fingers at anyone, but we need to know exactly what happened," Coleman's mother told People. "We're not angry. We're just concerned. Did our son fall down the stairs? Did he fall in the bathtub? We need to have some closure on our son's life."

As I hear his parents complain about not having details about their son's death, I wonder why Coleman and his parents were unable to repair their broken relationship while he was still alive?

Did Gary Coleman's Wife Have Authority to 'Pull Plug?'

Jun 2nd 2010

http://www.popeater.com/2010/06/02/gary-coleman-wife-pull-plug-divorced?icid=sphere_tmzcom_inline (http://www.popeater.com/2010/06/02/gary-coleman-wife-pull-plug-divorced?icid=sphere_tmzcom_inline)

Several news outlets are reporting a surprising twist in the Gary Coleman tragedy -- his wife, Shannon Price, might not have had the right to remove Coleman from life support. In fact, Entertainment Tonight  has obtained court papers confirming that the actor was divorced from Price at the time of his death. Coleman, 42, was taken off life support on Friday with Price's permission.

Coleman's former lawyer Randy Kester is also speaking out, telling PEOPLE, "I can confirm they've been divorced since August 12, 2008. At the time of Gary's death, they were not married. I have no knowledge if they were ever remarried." His lawyer went on to say, "Gary wanted me to keep their divorce private but now that it's been made public, I'm compelled to say it's all true."

Eariler in the day, Kester told UsMagazine, "Some people have raised the issue that they saw Gary and Shannon on 'Divorce Court' and now there's some questions about whether or not they were married at the time of the death and whether [Shannon] had the authority to pull the plug at the hospital." In 2008, Coleman and Price went on 'Divorce Court' in an effort to solve some marital issues.

Kester went on to say, "Some people in the public are raising issues whether she had authority to do that and if she has authority to be making funeral arrangements, and exactly where she fits into his estate."

"I think there's going to be some developing controversy about some issues of authority," he concluded.

When reached for comment by PEOPLE, Janet Frank, spokeswoman for the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where Coleman was treated said, "Shannon certainly portrayed herself as his wife to our staff and doctors. We assumed she was telling the truth. We can't comment on specific details in Mr. Coleman's case, but in general, any patient on life support is thoroughly evaluated medically before life support is ended."

"We're definitely concerned about this and we're looking into what exactly happened here," Frank continued.

This controversial news comes hours after details from the Coleman 911 tape was released to the press. On the tape, Price seems reluctant to help the actor stating she didn't "want to be traumatized right now" since she had a fever.

Update: Hospital Confirms Gary Coleman's Ex Did Have Medical Authority

Hospital: Coleman's Ex Had Right to Decide His Fate

Jun 2nd 2010

http://www.tmz.com/person/shannon-price/ (http://www.tmz.com/person/shannon-price/)

Gary Coleman  gave his ex-wife Shannon Price permission to make medical choices for him -- including life or death -- according to the Utah hospital where Gary died.

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center released a statement saying Gary had signed an "Advanced Health Care Directive that granted Shannon Price permission to make medical decisions on his behalf if he was unable to do so."

Hospital officials say that document remains in effect, regardless of marital status -- unless the patient changes it.

Price's right to make Gary's medical choices was called into question when it was revealed that they had secretly divorced in 2008.

More from and about Gary's friends, coworkers, from around the net:

Tragic Death of Gary Coleman - May 29, 2010

http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html (http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html)

Coleman's family said he had been conscious until midday Thursday but had slipped into a coma and was placed on life support as his condition worsened. His wife, Shannon Price, 24, was at his side when he died. She said in a statement that the family was comforted "knowing how beloved he still is."


Coleman's co-star Dana Plato, who played older adopted sister Kimberly, descended into drug abuse, petty crime and pornography and committed suicide in 1999. Her 25-year-old son committed suicide earlier this month, just two days before the 11th anniversary of her death.


Todd Bridges, who played Coleman's older brother, Willis, battled cocaine addiction and was acquitted of attempted murder in the late 1980s. "It's unfortunate. It's a sad day," Bridges said yesterday. "It's sad that I'm the last kid alive from the show."


Janet Jackson, who played Willis' girlfriend on the show, wrote on Twitter: "He has left a lasting legacy. I know he is finally at peace."


Newsweek called Coleman "NBC's Littlest Big Man," and "possibly the most original vid-kid since Howdy Doody."


"He was absolutely enchanting, adorable, funny and filled with joy which he spread around to millions of people all over the world," said actress Charlotte Rae, who played the family's housekeeper, Edna Garrett, and later starred in the spin-off "The Facts of Life."

Gary Coleman Funeral On Ice

(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/gary-coleman3.jpg)

Gary Coleman will not be buried this weekend ... because of a family feud.

A staffer at the mortuary that is holding Gary's remains tells TMZ all plans have been put on hold.

Shielia Erickson, the rep for Gary's ex-wife, tells us Shannon Price is fighting with Gary's parents, so the funeral can't go forward.

Shielia claims Shannon is the executor of Gary's will and has the power to make all decisions regarding the funeral and Gary's estate.

Gary's parents beg to differ.

Look at Grieving Shannon Price

Friday, June 4, 2010

http://eyesforlies.blogspot.com/2010/06/look-at-grieving-shannon-price.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EyesForLies+%28Eyes+for+Lies+Blog%29&utm_content=Twitter (http://eyesforlies.blogspot.com/2010/06/look-at-grieving-shannon-price.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EyesForLies+%28Eyes+for+Lies+Blog%29&utm_content=Twitter)

TMZ is reporting that the video interview I linked to yesterday of Shannon Price talking about pulling the plug on Gary http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=9b40664b-d0d9-4c83-974d-f8e6923325bb (http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=9b40664b-d0d9-4c83-974d-f8e6923325bb) was recorded the day after Gary died. Isn't that a shocker??

And today they have photos of Price with an agent that worked with Price and Coleman. TMZ reports these photos were taken about the same time as the video-- the day after Gary's death. Check it out.

(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/Price-agent-Price.jpg)

She is all smiles!! And if you look, the one on the right is absolutely genuine --its called a Duchenne smile. *indicates genuine spontaneous emotions* See the crows feet? Notice how big her grin is (you see more white teeth)? She couldn't be more happy, if you asked me.

It's flat out haunting.

And there is more video of Shannon talking about how she is struggling to pay for funeral costs. http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=85b3d517-f93e-462a-9e00-6fc869437784 (http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=85b3d517-f93e-462a-9e00-6fc869437784) She's really trying to act down here because she needs money and she complains Gary was never able to have life insurance because of his health problems. Poor Shannon--she must have looked into it.

This woman is a freak. She truly has no understanding what empathy is. She doesn't even have enough sense to fake it!!! She goes on to say that she hopes his fans are compassionate enough to donate to cover for his funeral and she hopes you'll pay her way, too, now that Gary is gone. He wasn't bringing any money home lately, anyway, did you hear? All of the fun money was gone, so did that make Gary useless to her?

I think I'm going to get sick.

I really really really want to be able to say 'RIP' Gary Coleman. 

IMO, Gary won't be able to RIP until he is buried with all due respect.  And until a full investigation into his 'injury' and death is complete, as well as answers to the questions swirling about the strange circumstances including the weirdness re his ex-wife. 

Gary brought happiness to so many people during his lifetime.  He will be remembered fondly by many who grew up watching him on tv.  IMO, he deserves, as anyone would, to be laid to rest with no questions surrounding his death. 

And if it's found that Gary met with injury caused by someone else, which led to the circumstances that he was in a position to be on life support, then to have life support pulled..... then IMO, he deserves a full measure of JUSTICE brought on his behalf. 

Seems to me that only then can Gary truly 'rest in peace'. 

(http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Coleman/garycoleman.jpg)

When the 911 call was first released to the media, I thought something seemed strange.   To me, the lady on the phone (his so-called wife) seemed like she was lacking emotion.   Something wasn't right.    I'm glad Gary's death is going to be re-investigated.   Its really sad that he didn't have a good relationship with his parents, and sad that in his death, there isn't forgiveness and dignity.   I'm not sure why he didn't have a relationship with his parents but you can't help but feel sorry for them.   

Gary had been through enough in his life.    He is entitled to a nice memorial and burial.   I pray that the truth comes out and that if anyone was involved in foul play, it is exposed.

After watching JVM tonight, I learned the reason Gary and his parents were not on speaking terms.... MONEY.  I hadn't realized that before.   What a shame.   Poor Gary probably had a harder life than any of us realize.

I hear ya Sassycat, it does seem that Gary had a harder life than we realize.  Some of his own making, much that wasn't. 

Seamus O'Riley gathered together a bio of sorts for Gary, and I snipped the following re his financials etc from there.  Much I had never heard that he went thru.  Have heard similiar stuff tho, from other child celebrities regarding the fortunes they'd gotten while minors and how their finances were used/misused by parents/caregivers/accountants.   

<snips from:>
http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html (http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html)

Coleman was able to work hard and raked in up to $64,000 an episode at the show's peak, reportedly amassing a fortune of $18 million.

But after the show ended Coleman struggled to find work, landing only bit parts in low-budget projects as he toiled in the long shadow of his star role. Increasingly bitter, he bristled at his continued association with the part of Arnold Jackson, but at the same time, continued to capitalize off the role by appearing in minor reality shows and other programs.

Coleman also was dogged by legal and financial disputes. In 1989, when he was 21, Coleman's mother filed a court petition to take control of his fortune, claiming he was unable to manage his own affairs.

He counter-sued, saying his parents and financial manager had squandered his fortune while he was a minor. A judge later awarded him $1.28 million.

He remained estranged from his parents, Sue and Willie Coleman, until his death.

This is really a sad ending for Gary Coleman.  I hope his death is investigated.

Gary Coleman's Parents Wave White Flag

Jun 4th 2010

http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/04/gary-colemans-parents-will-trust-estate-probate-death/ (http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/04/gary-colemans-parents-will-trust-estate-probate-death/)

Gary Coleman's parents claim they've officially changed their minds -- and will not pick a fight over their son's will in probate court -- but it looks like Gary cut them out of his will.

Yesterday, Sue and Willie Coleman lawyered up with the intention of filing for "Formal Probate" ... meaning a judge takes charge of Gary's will.

But moments ago, the Colemans recanted ... now saying they're dropping their bid -- noting it's time for Gary to "find peace and let his spirit go."
 
The Colemans say their lawyer has seen Gary's will and trust documents, but would not say if it shows Gary's parents were aced out as beneficiaries or executors -- but that would seem to be the case.

Gary Coleman

Has he not been through enough. Omg. I listened to the 911 call as well, right when it was released to the public. His Wife/Ex her voice is so flat. She probably has more excitement in her voice when placing a pizza order.

All she rambled on with " Her excuses" of why she would not help Gary -who was downstairs bleeding to death.  No quick thinking on her part what so ever to aid him or help him. She I think was creating an alibi with that 911 call. She was not trying to " Help" Gary in my mind.
I could hear Gary in the back ground so she could not have been that far away - that his voice could be heard( was inaudible but still) - I kept thinking what is this woman calling from a phone from the 80's - attached to the wall ..that she could not walk down to him with the phone.  Naw, she was just wasting time babbling about her self... my thoughts ..she was hoping he would croak..before help arrived.

 Anyone that is that cold and unnerving ...I cannot even fathom it. Unless she was the one who struck him. Because something is not right. When a accident happens and a loved one is involved or even a perfect stranger - People react and just " Do it" Help the other person.  They don't stand away and babble to 911 a laundry list of reasons why ...they cannot help them. It was not like Gary was on Fire trapped inside his house. He was laying on the floor with a head wound bleeding ...

My thoughts are that at one point " Gary" due to being lonely may have said some things to her ..even though they were in such a war of roses for years. That maybe he told her if anything were to happen to him, she would be his go to. Or maybe one time she was on all his paperwork and he removed her without her knowing prior to their divorce. Something though, in her little twit money hungry mind,  translated to her that she would be his estate holder. His life has been such a traumatic circus for the last 20+ years .. and with all the media claiming him to be broke .. I think is a catalyst in all of this. That the media has so portrayed him as angry, bitter etc... that it all worked in her favor.
Hollywood Broke and American John Doe Broke - are too totally different bank accounts.  He obviously as it has been stated " Had Assets".  I mean I know you can't put a "mansion" on the table and eat it for dinner... Cash poor and Asset Rich  - Its still $$$. 
I hope that they " Feds" are watching her.  Gary had a very interesting life. I am sure he had many contacts in his life as well ..that were only known to him. 
Something is so not right with all of this. I hope Gary get's his Justice and someone who really loved him will lay him to rest " In Peace".  He deserves dignity at the very least.
RIP Mr. Coleman.

*Sad that all the children from Different Strokes have had such tragedy in their Adult Lives. I can only pray for Todd that he remains clean and can live on for many years.

 

 

I have to say Wyks adding - Thank God that Gary did not have children with this woman. Can you imagine?
Its sad enough isn't it.

That Photo of Gary is Heartbreaking. He looks totally Broken as a Man, as a Human Being.

Gary Coleman’s Wife’s Voice on 911 Shows Self Centeredness And Harshness Towards Gary And Her Body Language on TMZ Interview Shows No Love Lost for Gary
June 4th, 2010

WHAT DOES SHE KNOW?

The tone of Gary Coleman’s wife Shannon, his live in ex wife whom he married in 2007 an divorced in 2008 was cold and harsh. It seems that she is  more concerned about herself than Gary and has all kinds of excuses as to why she can’t help him. ” She seems to repeat the phase” I don’t know what happened” as she gets the operator know this several times throughout the call. This is disconcerting as it makes one wonder if indeed she does know what happened.

SHANNON IS FULL OF EXCUSES

She doesn’t even go over to check on Gary as she screams out “Gary, are you OK?” She sound completely self absorbed. Her husband is lying on the floor with the back of his head bloody and all she can say is that she can’t help him because there was blood around,,She says she can’t drive him because she was an epileptic.

But she could manage to yell at him as in a harsh angry and nasty tone as she screamed”Gary, don’t move. Gary Stay there, OK? You have to keep pressure on your head, You got to put pressure on your head.” What happened?

Gary Coleman's Wife Behind Gruesome Photos

Our sources say Shannon is featured in one of the photos.

We're told the photos are being shopped around for five-figures ... and Shannon is set to get a cut of the profits.

(see video at above link)

I just watched an interview with Shannon Price for Entertainment Tonight. I saw the link through Celebitchy.com.

My heart stopped when I watched the first minute.

When the reporter asked Price what it was like for her to take him off of life support, Shannon gives a quick positive expression. She grins...do you see it? It's astounding!!!! And very hard to watch. I don't know if it would be classified as a micro expression or not, but it very telling about what she felt when she pulled Gary off of life support. If some people don't see it, it is likely a micro expression.

Shannon also says that she has a copy of the will and that Gary wanted her to have everything! Is this a motive?

When the reporter asks her, "Did Gary die broke?" Watch Shannon smile as she says, "No". That brings me back to her statement in the earlier interview I reviewed today where she said, "You know....We've been struggling... a lot... with financial stuff, but now that he is gone, its a little more difficult." That becomes all the more chilling...

Shannon ends the interview with "Gary is my best interest right now, so I am going to do what he wants." That's absolutely chilling.

This makes me sick.

Gary Coleman's Death Now a Battle of the Wills
June 7, 2010

The trouble with Gary Coleman last will and testament is that nobody's quite sure about the "last" part.

A Utah attorney representing the executor of the actor's estate has one dating from 1999. Todd Bridges has a secret one, which may or may not be the same mysterious document allegedly written—but possibly voided—in 2007.

But only one is close to being filed. So which is it?

Ding, ding, ding—the will behind door No. 1. Salt Lake City attorney Kent Alderman tells E! News he will file Coleman's 1999 will in court sometime this week.

Said document lists Coleman's former manager (former as in long ago parted ways, not as in up until the actor's death) Dion Mial as executor of the estate—and therefore in line to collect a potential windfall for his travails in a trust fund.

Both Alderman and Mial insist the 1999 trumps a handwritten 2009 document that lists Shannon Price, who was then still married to Coleman, as the sole beneficiary.

"That will be declared null and void," Mial says in a statement to RadarOnline. "Certain criteria needs to be valid under Utah State statutory law and that will did not meet it, so it is null and void."

If you believe Alderman and Mial, the recently surfaced one-page codicil ceased to be relevant once the couple divorced, as they secretly did. Should they have remarried, as Price claims they intended to do, it would have reactivated. But they didn't, so it doesn't.

And, should his document be deemed official by the probate court, don't expect Mial to spare any dimes for Price.

He says her continuing media rounds and selling of deathbed photos of the actor are "ongoing desperate attempts to profit from the mysterious death of her 'beloved husband.' "

"Knowing Gary, as well as anyone could have, I assure his closest family, friends and fans that his disdain for this behavior would be unquestionable and paramount to any foregoing profession of 'love' for Shannon that might have ever poured from his lips."

Well don't hold back, Dion.

Price's rep has, of course, already dismissed Mial's comments or any claim to Coleman's estate, insisting that the actor had a falling out with Mial long ago and weren't friends at the time of his death.

"Shannon gave Dion the money to pay for his attorney," Price's rep Sheilia Erickson told E! News. "It was all the money Shannon had. She wanted to make sure that Gary's wishes were respected. Despite Shannon's health problems and dealing with the stress of losing her husband.

"Dion, who claims to be a good friend of Gary, would know that Gary's only wishes were to make sure that Shannon would be OK after he was gone. So if Dion was a good friend, he would be assisting Shannon, not taking all her money, to pay for his attorney and then use it to take everything from her."

And as for their supposed friendship…

"Gary made a statement about Dion less than 24 hours before he fell," Erickson said. "He said that he had not been friends with Dion for years. When asked why, Gary said, 'All good things come to an end.' Gary was stating that he had a falling out with Dion and did not wish to be close friends with him anymore. I can see why now by the way that Dion is also turning on Shannon as well."

And as for Shannon's sudden media ubiquity, Erickson said she's only doing so to defend herself against conspiracy theorists and rumormongers.

"Shannon has been on a few talk shows. She has to at some point stand up for herself with the onslaught of the media."

Coleman's funeral, originally scheduled to take place this weekend, has yet to be rescheduled, though Price told Good Morning America this morning that the actor wished to be cremated and did not want any kind of ceremony. According to Erickson, she's half right.

"That is Gary's wishes," she said of plans for cremation. "If we can, we would like to have some kind of a funeral, though."

Gary Coleman Has A Secret Nest Egg Worth Millions

Ex-wife Shannon Price hires big shot attorney to defend her share of his estate.

 (http://cdn1.us.yourtango.com/story-page-img/article_images/shannonpricegarycoleman.jpg)  The more we find out about Shannon Price, ex-wife of the late Gary Coleman, the less we like her. Or, shall we say, the more we dislike her. And with a passion.

 Perhaps the most egregious of the crimes is her selling of his death photos for cash. Wait, or is it the $50,000 asking price for interviews? Or is it the promise of televised tour of the house they shared with a special stop of at the place where Gary fell and hit his head? What Happened To Gary Coleman?

Who is this woman? A woman with her eye on a prize — a prize that's turning out to be much larger than anyone thought.

According to Coleman's friend and Diff'rent Strokes co-star Todd Bridges, Gary left this world with a very large pension from the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. A pension that he estimates could be worth millions.

No wonder Price has hired a "high-profile" attorney to defend the 2007 will that names her as the sole beneficiary to Coleman's estate.

Fortunately for all that's good and righteous and just in this world, there are those who are fighting to protect his money from such vultures. According to RadarOnline.com:

    Coleman's 1999 will, which named his ex-manager Dion Mial as executor, was filed in a Salt Lake City court Tuesday. The will leaves Gary's estate to "The Trustee of the Milennium Edge Trust," which Bridges said is registered in Mial's name. And for the first time, Bridges revealed what he said were Coleman's wishes to do with his money.

    "We have plans with it, charitable plans definitely. Our plans are to make sure it goes to the right places."

    Although Gary's ex-wife Shannon Price says she has a handwritten codicil from 2007 naming her as the sole beneficiary, Bridges told RadarOnline.com that she will get nothing.

    Coleman's estranged parents won't get anything in the will either. "His pension will not go to one person, no way." [Source: Radar]

Most poignantly, the will also states that his remains should be cremated and that a wake should "conducted by those who have had no financial ties to me and can look each other in the eyes and say they really cared personally for Gary Coleman."

We're guessing that doesn't include Shannon.

Gizzie (( hug)) I think that Ms. Price - NOT Mrs Coleman needs to step off and pray .. literally. Because I think she offed Gary and I am not the only one who thinks this.
Its not in the press " Yet" because I think she is being investigated as we speak.
She is rotten to the core. Anyone that would bring in camera's to a stranger's hospital bed let alone a spouse/ex/family member' s death bed ... for PHOTO's to be taken in their last hours or near ...is simply off as a human being. Then to take the photo's and sell them ....to the tabloids .. May she burn for this alone - for a very long time. I think she killed Gary - Twice. I really do. 
  jmo
I pray that Todd Bridges does come and aid " Makes it happen"  in Gary's wishes and allow Gary's Wishes to be for his funeral/cremation - and for his pension to be divided within charities for children.
This just another slap in Gary's face - His Ex Wife. She is A Disgrace flat out. And the World knows it NOW.
Shame on Her. I hope Gary Haunts her in her sleep. 

Deenie~ (((hugs back))) ~ I could not agree more! That photo looks like she shot it herself, at the hospital, and she looked pretty happy to do it! Probably thinking in the back of her greedy mind this will make me rich! Not the sad worried face I'd expect, but then again, I wouldn't expect anyone to be snapping photos of their loved one in Gary's condition!

I hope they are investigating further because I think there's something very wrong here!

I agree that Shannon very likely did something to Gary, which caused him to be on life support, which she then very quickly pulled.  Am hoping that LE will not give up until they've uncovered the truth.  There's just TOO MUCH weird stuff about Shannon for her to be innocent at any point. 

Also damning to her is the report that she broke into Gary's house (thought she was living there ?? ), taking his truck and possessions, moving them out.  She and her family.   LE made her give that stuff back.  And yet... In the beginning, LE didn't consider the home a crime scene, very likely hadn't had a chance yet to scour Gary's home for clues.  Seems that before LE started looking at Shannon with suspicion, she had already moved much out of that home.  Did she remove anything at first that could have been used as evidence against her? 

It's been said that there was a lot of blood, that he supposedly fell and hit his head.  I know how head wounds can bleed quite a bit.  Yet when it was explained early on, the first thing I thought of (even before being suspicious of Shannon) was that it seemed like too much blood in there for what someone small in stature could accidentally do to themselves in a fall.  More like what someone else could do to them using something.. like a heavy skillet. 

I sure hope that LE is demanding to see everything that 'once was' in that home.  And checks thoroughly to see if what Gary's reported injuries were, could actually have been caused by an accidental trip/fall, hitting head on something. 

The world is not as stupid as it seems Shannon wants us to be.  LE included. 

All IMO.

Oh dear!

Gary Coleman Will No. 3, Mystery Woman Included, Shows Up

Today 5:58 PM PDT by Natalie Finn

(http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20080917/300.coleman.gary.lc.091708.jpg)
As if two sole beneficiaries weren't enough, how about a third?

Another Gary Coleman will has surfaced, this one purportedly drawn up in 2005, in which the actor leaves everything to an Anna Gray, whose name hadn't even come up as an important person in the actor's life until now.

Coleman's agent, Robert Malcolm, told Entertainment Tonight, which first obtained the will, that Gray was a dear friend of the Diff'rent Strokes star who at one point had her own bedroom in Coleman's Los Angeles home and then moved to Utah when he met future wife Shannon Price.

And you can imagine how much Price liked that.

"When Shannon moved in, the relationship got difficult because Shannon didn't like the fact that there was somebody else in his life," said Malcolm, "and, of course, he sided with [Shannon], and Anna was asked to leave."

Maintaining that she was divorced yet still married, common-law style, to Coleman when he died, Price filed a petition yesterday to be appointed special administrator of her ex's estate, pointing to a 2007 document naming her sole beneficiary of his assets.

That handwritten document was a codicil to a 1999 will that appointed pal Dion Mial executor of his estate and left all known assets to the "Trustee of the Millennium Edge Trust." The codicil was rendered null and void when Coleman and Price divorced, according to Mial's attorney.

Got it so far?

Anyway, while the 2007 codicil left all assets, including his prized model train set, to Price, the 2005 will states that if Gray were to predecease him, Coleman wanted his trains dispersed among three train shops in California.

The '05 document does not mention Price or Coleman's parents, who backed off from taking any legal action of their own after the 1999 will surfaced, saying they wanted to respect their son's wishes.

Which, apparently, were all over the map.

Wyks did you see the interview with Todd Bridges - was a week ago. That Gary had open heart surgery in the last months/year. That many did not know about that. His body was in bad shape prior to this " fall" hit on the head. He Gary, had so many issues ( we know) within his kidneys for a lifetime - His fundamental organs were not at par. I wonder what meds Gary was on? Post heart surgery. Was he on blood thinners?
That a small cut would make him bleed out of control? This Woman that so proclaims her love for Gary is ... thinking of one thing and only one thing " Easy Street".
For some reason she feels she is owed his " all and everything". Wait and see all of Gary's private memorabilia *he kept within his person/his home/lock boxes* will be at auctions " within a select group".  Sold to the highest bidder. (monies to go to Shannon)  Then resold to the media.
Its just disgusting beyond words all of it.

Gary was known in the last 10 yrs, media wise - to be quite angry, snappish and misunderstood. Does anyone ever think that his point of views within interviews " Were cut up and tossed up" that Gary was only seen/heard for his rude commentary. I don't believe for a minute that " Gary" was this nasty, intolerant, angry man - that the media made him to be.  They pick and choose within interviews the Shock value comments - they never show the full person. 

If Gary would have been in his interviews this Soft Pleasant Guy - life is all good and I am alright, living life is fine. NO one would ever market him, nor use his interviews on the news/media. So they took him at " Heights of his words" picked him apart - and offered him as " Gary Coleman" Down and out.  And they showed him as this Anger Bitter once a Child Star.

Which I feel works for Shannon's Advantage. She can use that for her own benefit. The PUBLIC has seen Gary yadda, he was angry, bitter and broke .. No, the Public did not know GARY - at all. NO one knew Gary the Man. No one but Shannon. And if he was so rotten and so evil and so broke - why the h@ll did she stay with him. Because she LOVED HIM. ........ no. Its called " Free Ride" and waiting in the wings. 

Gary and she were on a pilot of a reality show- taped just prior to their Divorce -(reality show to be considered) and it was shown on the news today - A clip. Gary is beside himself and saying to Her - All you care about is MONEY ... What is it with you that MONEY is So Important.
She is sitting next to him.. no response other than to put her arms around herself and shrunched up her shoulders. She never even looked at Gary, she stared at the wall.

All this garbage created by Shannon is just what it is. Its her trying to create interference from the truth. I think she " hit him/knocked him down the stairs" or did something to him and then called 911 " to create her alibi"... she is a lying sack of Redheaded Gums.

She is no celebrity, never has been, never will be. And now she is her own reality Tv Show, within the News of Gary's Death - and I think all of this was premeditated by her. She knew too much about him, his health, his money tucked away, His legal issues with his parents. She is as my Dad would say " A Stone Whip".
No sympathy for her at all.
For Gary I wish his soul Peace. He is still " hanging" ...why? His body not yet given his last rites. Because of others self serving BS!.  Its disgusting. Uggh.
 
 

My Apologies for multiple posts -

I timed out " 4 " times within the server of SM - during my last post -

Frustrated Monkey within all of US.. here.


I've fixed it Deenie, no worries.  It seems it's easy to end up with multiple posts, or at times, no post at all.  :-( .  MB
 

Deenie,

Yeah, all the server probs are very frustrating.  Am guessing especially for those trying to fix it all.  Trying to be patient and just take things as they come. :-/

Thanks for your very well thought out post, it's all so very true.  Sadly, for Gary.  He must have been so very sad, feeling so very alone in this world.  Who to trust? kind of thing. 

No didn't see the video of Todd Bridges, will go look for that.  I did read something about him upthread. Tho it seems that Todd and Gary may have been on the outs at some point in their life, still and all, Todd sounds like he alone has Gary's back. Is determined that Gary's wishes, as he knows them to be, are carried out to the fullest.  And mind you, at no seeming return to him, none that I could see anyway. And that's of course, with the limited knowledge we do have.

If Gary were angry, bitter, snappish and misunderstood.. could we blame him?  Seems he has been surrounded by wolves, even in death.  I wouldn't blame him, not one bit.  Am thinking you are very right with what you've said re how things likely were presented to the public in such a way as to get the highest ratings, etc.  I wouldn't think he could possibly be a carefree happy guy dealing with all that he must have, including his health.  Am thinking he was in the middle of these two extremes, much like the rest of us. 

Must have felt to Gary like the buzzards were circling at times tho, cuz of what he says in his 1999 will.  That his remains should be cremated and that a wake should be "conducted by those who have had no financial ties to me and can look each other in the eyes and say they really cared personally for Gary Coleman." Yikkkkes what a statement that is.  Sadly. 

Am thinking you pretty much summed up Shannon, and what I also think of that POS.  I did see that news clip you are speaking of.  Am hoping, if any of this goes to court, that clip is played.  Will be all they need to shut up Shannon for good.  She can then crawl back under whatever slime she crawled out of. IMO. 

Wyks
I totally agree that Gary had every reason to be angry, bitter and disgruntled - He had his reasons and they were good reasons. Serious reasons. The Man had his life on the table almost his entire life within his health. He was not healthy as a child, nor an adult. When your not healthy on the inside and your tricked and measured by others - who are to help you, support you. Who wouldn't be disgusted at everyone. After reading his last will and testament concerning his actual " after death" - that he wanted no one to be a witness .. invited to his funeral/wake or otherwise ... that is Truly SAD. That he felt he had no one " faithfully to represent him " be there for him. To show him respect upon his death. 

That is why I find this so called ex wife - to be a liar. She was the closest person to him in the last years. Look what she did. She went to his death bed and had pictures taken of him ..right up to the minute his heart stopped. Her in the photos/Her doing. Who does that?  She didn't even go to the hospital after the 911 call.  Who would not go after that? She didnt. ( so its said) The Photos: She Then sells them on top of the gruesome act of the photos. I have not seen the photo's of Gary passed away. I do not want to see them.  I won't look at them.
Was said in other news that Gary stated to his once manager Dion - that he wanted his ashes put into the ocean from one the Hawaiian Islands.  I can believe that.
Shannon was just quoted the other day - If she is able to obtain Gary's Ashes that she would spread them on a train track .. because he loved trains.

I Love many things too within my life - Does not define me as where I want my ashes to be spread. I have this great love for collecting Birds figurines- glass/clay/porcelain/metals you name it ... My Daughter would not put my ashes in a birds nest. Just saying.
Its just so sad that He even after he is gone - He is not able to have ONE person stand for him - and Say Yes or NO. 
It's not about his money, Its about him and his time on this earth as a being. And that is not even defined ..through the people left in care of his wishes.
Disgusting.   

All very true, Deenie!  Yes, reading his last wishes... SO SAD!  He knew there would be no one in his death being respectful of his wishes, because no one in his life had been.  So it seems.  The most disgusting thing to me about what Shannon is doing, is that it seems she jumped fast to do the exact opposite of his wishes.  A final message for him to f... off, then take all his money/estate/etc.  OMG I hope she does not succeed in anything further than she has already.  Train tracks?  What is she smoking?  I do hope before they cremate his body, that they do/redo the autopsy and specifically look for any signs of possible homocide.  I think when they checked things out with him, after his death, they weren't yet thinking of this in terms of a possible homocide.  I just don't want Shannon to be allowed to rush them thru a cremation so they will never be able to discover even the tiniest clue that things are not as they seem with him.  One measure of dignity, at the very least, is what ought to be demanded by someone able to do so.  A full measure of dignity and respect is what we want, what Gary deserves.  The rest of this is disgusting, and I have a wish to see her slammed behind bars for her every effort. 

I totally agree and am right with you on all your words.  Death is a passage of life. It does not however define you. And I think that Gary's Death is Shannon's way of Defining him.. and she is evil.
She should do some hard stares in the mirror and truly grab the depth of her actions. Because ... I tell you Wyks ... God has issues with people like her..  she will be on the short bus from here on out .. since she claims she has so " many health issues" herself.. She is young, naive and a manipulator and she feels she has nothing to lose. Why ? Because Gary didn't share with others. Not that he shared with her. So whatever she thinks she can " Make Up" as Gary's truth ---- Its her word against a Dead Man. SAD HUGE.

Exactly Deenie!!  And sadly so.  Problem also is that Shannon seems to be such an evil one at heart, likely she will never stop to think about what she is doing and etc.  I kind of doubt that she has 'health issues' that are life threatening.  Mental health issues plenty.  Not much seems to be stopping her from succeeding at this with Gary, as well as likely doing the same to someone else down the road. 

Serial bi@tch. 

Gary Coleman's death case closed
Oct 6 2010
(BANG) -Gary Coleman's death is no longer viewed as suspicious. Detectives investigating the death of the 'Diff'rent Strokes' star closed the case yesterday (05.10.10), siding with a county coroner's recent verdict that the actor's death, from a brain hemorrhage following a fall in May this year, was not deliberate.

This exonerates his ex-wife Shannon Price, who was criticized for her reaction when she found her ex-husband's body, and made a call to emergency services where she said she hadn't attempted to administer any first aid as she "can't stand blood".

Gary's parents voiced their concerns about the circumstances surrounding their son's death following a fall at his home.

The couple's spokesperson Victor Perillo said: "If I had the dollars, I'd hire someone to take another look at the body to see if there was any blunt force trauma to the head.

"How did he hit his head? Why was there so much blood?"

Gary's former manager Dion Mial also admitted he had suspicions about his ex-client's passing.

He said at the time: "I wholeheartedly believe there was foul play here. There are criminal intentions relative to Gary's death."

Shannon - who decided to turn off her former spouse's life support machine, despite him previously expressing wishes to be kept alive in such a situation - was never officially named as a suspect in the investigation into Gary's death, but she did release a statement stating she had no involvement in his passing.

The 25-year-old blonde - who had claimed to be on the verge of remarrying her former spouse at the time of his death - was written out of the actor's will and was forced to deny rumors she was trying to sell photos of the him on his deathbed were true.

Gary Coleman’s Utah Home Loses Value
March 17, 2011
Gary Coleman’s Utah home isn’t immune to the drop in real estate values in recent years. Gary Coleman paid $320,000 for the home in Santaquin back in 2006, which reverted back to Chase bank after his death. Coleman owed $325,158 at the time of his death. Now, the home has been reduced in price from $324,000 down to $237,600 where the bank appears ready to cut their losses and attempt to recover at least 2/3 of the deal.

Chase bank is so interested in selling the property that they are willing to offer up to an additional 3% discount on the property sale to a qualified buyer

Judge: No common-law marriage for Gary Coleman
May 15, 2012

A Utah judge has dealt a blow to a bid by Gary Coleman's ex-wife to gain control of the late child TV star's estate.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/J68ZK3) Judge James Taylor ruled Monday that Coleman and Shannon Price didn't have a common-law marriage, despite living together after they divorced.
Coleman died of a brain hemorrhage in 2010. Taylor is deciding whether Price or Coleman's ex-girlfriend Anna Gray is entitled to his estate.

The judge says Price moved out of Coleman's home multiple times after their 2008 divorce and the couple didn't give a public impression of marriage.
 ::snipping2::
At stake is a house worth more than $300,000, intellectual rights to some of Coleman's works and the "Diff'rent Strokes" star's ashes.
