Gary Coleman's official cause of death has been determined. The former child star's cause of death is listed as head injury due to an accidental fall. Renal disease is listed as a contributing factor. Many would've cited Shannon Price as at least a contributing factor is not cause in effect.As for Shannon Price, she is listed as spouse in the official documentations. That's where things start to get complicated. Shannon and Gary were divorced back in 2008. Shannon maintains that they were still common law man and wife right up to the bitter end.
Whether that is legal basis to give Shannon the right to pull the plug may have to be determined legally' Shannon feels it does give her the right to Gary's estate. She even has a hand written addendum to prove it.
That's good for her since Gary;'s former manager, Dion Mial, is executor of his estate via his previous will. Dion doesn't like Shannon one iota and is trying to freeze her out. Plus Gary's long estranged family is coming out of the word work and positioning themselves for a piece of the action! Plus there is more than one will one the table.
Gary & Gray
That brings us to complication number 2: another woman has filed another will - dated 2005, and is claiming to have been Coleman's girlfriend. Anna Gray claims to have been living with Coleman, as a lover, up until a few years ago. She originally met Gary in the capacity of a home health care worker - and then went on to live with Coleman and Price in some sort of "threesome".
Even though Shannon eventually made Anna pack her bags, Anna feels that she has as much right to the loot as Price. She's presented a will which leaves everything to her. Plus she feels righteously indignant over Shannon's behavior. Says Gray through her lawyer Randy Kester via RadarOnline.com: "She has no right to his things. I would not have cared one bit if she went into his house and took her personal things, but I understand... nothing is left in the home beyond Gary’s bed and his clothing. She has taken all his personal papers, evidence and other belongings. That is completely disrespectful and a further indication of what her objectives are.” Relations between Price & Gray have already reached the point where a restraining order has been filed by Gray against Price.
celebrity cautionary tale
So what's the moral of the story? Gary was complaining back in the early 90's about still being a virgin. Now he has two women fighting over him. So anyone can attract women if they're dead and have money. It might also be observed that Gary's fate was probably sealed the moment he said "I do". So be careful what you wish for.
