Gary Coleman Tried to File Restraining Order Against Ex-Wife
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Divorce, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Obituaries, Rumors,
The strange story surrounding Gary Coleman‘s death unfolds by the day: Coleman secretly took out a restraining order against his ex-wife a few months before he died.
The former child star claimed in the documents that Shannon Price had moved back into his Utah home against his wishes while he was in hospital. In the documents - which were filed under “John Doe Vs. 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’s Last Wishes Were Ignored
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Gary Coleman signed legal papers in 2006 detailing his wishes should he find himself in a life-or-death medical situation - a standard procedure for people with health problems as serious as his. The big issue: Coleman requested that his life be prolonged by artificial means, if necessary. Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, expressly ignored these wishes when she made the decision to suspend her former hubby’s support (the slang for this is “pulling the plug”). Price filed the documents signed by Coleman in the first place…so it can be assumed she knew their contents.
The document, titled “Instructions for Health Care” clearly showed that Coleman marked the box for “Choice to Prolong Life.” The extended definition of the option reads: “I want my life to be prolonged as long as possible within the limits of generally accepted health care standards.”
Price authorized the termination of Gary Coleman’s life support, which in effect ended his life. Since then, she has been at the heart of a bitter battle for Coleman’s remains and control of his estate. TMZ has obtained a copy of the document if you want to take a look.
