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.

No Funeral Service for Gary Coleman
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Dating, Divorce, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Videos, Rumors,
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’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.

Second Gary Coleman Will Produced By Shannon Price
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Obituaries, Rumors,
Recently, a will was produced for late actor Gary Coleman. Oddly, the document had a stipulation that certain people would not be allowed to attend his funeral. In the will, all Coleman’s assets were left to “the Trustee of the Millennium Edge Trust.”
Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, has now come forward with a different will. This document is handwritten and names Price as the “sole heir of any and all monies, properties, bank accounts, earnings, model trains, vehicles, cars, toys, games, electronics, homes, other inheritances if any, all things physical and/or intellectual.”
The handwritten will adds, “This I have done because of my personal selfishness and weakness and I Love her with all my heart.” The notes are attached to a will allegedly written in 2006, which reads “I revoke all previous wills. I specifically disinherit my biological parents and siblings.” The only problem: the will isn’t signed by Gary Coleman.
