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.”

Gary Coleman’s Parents Want Details
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars, Obituaries,
Gary Coleman‘s parents are desperate to know what happened to the actor before he died.
Sue and Willie Coleman - the estranged relatives of the Diff’rent Strokes actor, who passed away on Friday night after suffering from a brain hemorrhage and falling into a coma - are devastated they were unable to speak with the 42-year-old star before his passing and are anxious to know the circumstances surrounding his death.
“We would’ve loved to have been there by his side at the hospital, to let him know we love him before he passed away. This is a shock to us. We loved Gary very much. We’re going to miss him. We’re not pointing fingers at anyone, but we need to know exactly what happened. 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.”
Gary was admitted to hospital following the fall at his home on Wednesday evening, but his condition was so bad his 24-year-old wife Shannon Price was forced to turn off his life support machine. Although the pair had a tempestuous relationship - which saw Gary arrested in January over a domestic violence charge - police officers are convinced there is nothing suspicious about his passing.
