Why Gary Coleman’s Ex Shannon Price Took Him Off Life Support

by

Shannon Price is standing by her decision to allow her late husband to die naturally. 

Following the death of Gary Coleman due to an intracranial hemorrhage in May 2010, following a tragic fall, his former wife (who had divorced him silently in 2008) is explaining her decision to halt life-support treatment two weeks before he had stipulated in his will.

In the show “Lie Detector: Truth or Deception” on A&E, Price explained that he was left with no other option. He stated that the person had suffered a cardiac arrest, which sadly ended his life. (Premieres tonight, July 10, as reported by People.)

According to court documents acquired by CNN, the late star of “Diff’rent Strokes” specified that he desired a minimum of fifteen days of medical attention if faced with extremely dire circumstances, prior to permitting natural death. However, in actuality, he was eventually removed from life support after just two days.

Price shared that she instructed medical professionals to revive her husband who suffered a cardiac arrest at 42 years old and ultimately passed away. She continued by saying, “I go to see him, converse with the doctors, and they respond, ‘Shannon, we’re not hopeful he’ll survive.’

The now 39-year-old explained that she had exhausted every possibility for Coleman.

She affirmed her choice was correct, explaining, “He was essentially leaving already. So I asked, ‘Are his pupils dilated?’ They confirmed it. Then I inquired to see for myself, and once they showed me, I was certain.

After Coleman’s passing, Price has encountered criticism and doubt from certain individuals regarding her motives behind the challenging choice she made, along with conjecture about her involvement in Coleman’s tragic fall.

And that’s why Price ended up on Lie Detector: Truth or Deception. 

Throughout my entire life, it seems like the odds have been stacked against me,” she pointed out elsewhere in the upcoming episode. “I’m genuinely praying for a positive resolution. Not everyone excels at polygraph tests, but I hold on to the belief that this will turn out well for me, and they might think, ‘Well, she’s just an ordinary girl who found herself in an unfortunate predicament.’

Previously shown footage from the series “Lie Detector” depicts a moment where George Olivo, the examiner, inquired, “Were you responsible for Gary’s fall on that particular day?” To this question, Price responded with a negative, saying, “No.

However, in the video clip, the test showed “deception indicated” in Price’s answer.
