Jane Doe” - the actor alleged Shannon “has shown a tendency to damage, destroy and steal my property and I believe she will continue to do so in my absence and while she is trespassing in my home.”

Gary Coleman Quietly Cremated
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Obituaries,
With no fanfare, late child actor Gary Coleman was cremated on Thursday evening in Salt Lake City, Utah. The private, no-frills procedure was completed at the behest of Coleman himself, who stated in one of his wills that he wanted no funeral or memorial services.
Coleman’s ashes have been stored while a courtroom melodrama continues in Utah. The actor’s remains, and his property, are still the subject of debate as the judge and an independent attorney appointed to the case attempt to sort out the actor’s multiple wills, strange requests and warring friends and family.
There are currently no plans for a public memorial service of any kind for the well-loved actor, who shot to fame thanks to his portrayal of Arnold on Diff’rent Strokes.

Deceased child actor Gary Coleman, best-known for his role as Arnold on Diff’rent Strokes, will not be remembered with a funeral service. An independent attorney appointed to Coleman’s convoluted case announced the decision on Wednesday.
The decree comes on the heels of several confusing media reports, multiple wills purportedly written by the late actor, and a dramatic courtroom battle featuring his ex-wife, his ex-girlfriend and his estranged parents. Independent litigator Robert Jeffs was appointed to the case on Monday. His decision honors the request regarding funeral services made in Coleman’s 2005 will.

Gary Coleman Was Divorced Before Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Divorce, Legal Issues, Obituaries,
As his parents look for more details, it has been discovered that Gary Coleman was not married to Shannon Price at the time of his death.
Despite Shannon making the decision to turn off the actor’s life support machine when he died last Friday, the pair had been divorced since August 2008.
Attorney Randy Kester, who handled the split, said, “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. Gary wanted me to keep the divorce private but now that it’s been made public, I’m compelled to say it’s all true. Their relationship has been on-again, off-again. I know that there were periods of time where she resided in the home with Gary, and there were periods of time where she didn’t.”
The revelations have called into question whether or not 24-year-old Shannon had the decision making power to turn off the machine on Gary’s behalf. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center - where Gary died - released a statement claiming they had undertaken all necessary rules to check Shannon’s legal rights. It read they “had completed an Advance Health Care Directive that granted Shannon Price permission to make medical decisions on his behalf.”
