911 call released. I'm not so sure how I feel about his wife :/

I'm pretty sure I do know how I feel, but I probably shouldn't say it here. WOW. What a cold hearted person. I hope they investigate his injury more thoroughly. That was pretty chilling.

 

[nomad]

Wow! It was all about her and I sensed anger and inconvenience in her demeanor jmo
RIP Gary Coleman- you made me smile lots of times!

 

[concerned4kids]

They really do need to do a thorough investigation... OMG Why can't she help him?? RIP Gary..

TMZ is reporting that Shannon and Gary were legally divorced two years ago! Did she even have the right to make the decision to pull that plug? (Did she have power of attorney...?)

She alibis herself immediately in the 911 call. Very suspicious. I read on TMZ or somewhere that when LE asked, Gary couldn't even remember what happened.

Hearing his voice on that 911 tape was just heartbreaking. He didn't even seem to realize what was going on....kept asking "What's wrong?"

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."

I don't find anything suspicious about the ex-wife from the 911 call. If she had wanted him dead then all she had to say was that she was upstairs, never heard anything suspicious, was not aware that he was injured and did not discover his body until hours after he was dead. Instead she sought help immediately which tells me that she really was trying to save his life even with her blood phobia and medical (seizure) condition. I think she knew her physical/mental/stress limits and was trying to make sure that she got help for him without making the situation worse by incapacitating herself by pushing herself to the point that she had a seizure. She really would not have been of any help to him then. JMO

It makes sense when you put it that way. I certainly hope it was that way...for Gary.

Nice post. I have a real aversion to blood, my own included. I threw up when I first got my period. I don't know what I would have done in that situation, thrown him a towel maybe? I'm not being snide, some people cannot abide blood.

 

[believe09]

I agree that the situation is surreal, but not necessarily sinister. I mean if you dial this out, the paramedics had him walk with aide to the ambulance, right? It is easy for me to look backwards now and believe that Gary should have been handled differently.

I'd be ok with all that if this couple didn't have a violent past, Gary could tell LE what happened, his injury wasn't on the back of his head, and a very small police department did an actual investigation. The fact she called 911 only tells me that if she had anything to do with this, she didn't intend to cause deadly harm. Happens all the time in DV situations. I would guess that most violent spouses help their vics get medical help than they let them lay there and die.

RIP - Gary

Oh, this woman should just stop talking.
"Gary Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price is defending her decision to pull the plug on life support because she says she didn't want Gary to be like Muhammad Ali or Terri Schiavo."
Thems fighting words, hon.

K, I might have to reverse my position on whether or not there was anything odd about his death. Because she gave this interview the day after she took him off life support. And she sounded like she was talking about a squirrel she had hit with her car.

JMO.

Yeah. She seemed more concerned that people accused her of pushing him. I get not being able to handle the sight of blood. When my kids are leaking, I turn their care over to someone who is calmer about it than I am. If I am the only one there, then I do what I have to do. Something kicks in with us when it's a matter of life and death. I can't believe she wouldn't even give him a ride to the hospital. If she loved him, she would have been concerned about getting him medical care as fast as possible and she could have had her little breakdown AFTER she got there. She knew it was possibly fatal. And yet she didn't want to drive because she had a fever? Okay... This whole story stinks.
I wonder if she knows she's got a serious beatdown coming from Mr. Ali. He might get back into the ring just for this wench.

Actually she was saying seizure, not fever. I had to listen closely to figure that out. I think she might have a seizure disorder and not have a drivers license. As far as the blood goes, she sounded like she has some kind of panic problem, too. She is not the person to go to in a crisis, that's for sure. She did implore them to come right away and was concerned about him dying. I think she really did care for him.

 

[believe09]

Thanks DG, there might be some medical reason for her lack of affect during the interview. Like perhaps she is medicated.

Yeah, I think that is fair to say.

Isn't Gary the one who had seizures?
