Gary Coleman Story: Heating Up

The Gary Coleman story is heating up. By heating up I mean that his estranged parents are taking an interest in his death that they hadn't had in his life since he ceased being a major entertainer. Now Gary's folks say that they aren't pointing any fingers or anything. They just want answers for closure, and possibly to use in a court of law at some point. Remember that even if those answers don't prove criminal guilt, they can be used in a civil law suit to determine control of Gary Coleman's estate.



One thing we do know is that Shannon Price not only pulled the plug on Gary, she was there when whatever went down. In fact she was the one who called 911. An extended call - 4 to 5 minutes - has been released in which Shannon Price calls in the incident in which her husband was injured. In fact Gary's voice can be heard in the background as Price tries to talk him into lying down.



Shannon sounds fairly calm, which is in her favour. Usually when people are 'aware of guilt' they can over compensate by over emoting: lots of crying, nose blowing, voice warbling (over modulating); basically Kleenex and cheap theatrics. Shannon didn't give the "my poor husband" routine on the phone, and even takes a little time to vent about her own health and frustration. So if she's not 'selling innocence' then it might because she hasn't got a 'guilty conscience'. Though everyone was ready to believe the worst, especially where the volatile Ms Price was involved, this thing may actually be what it seems: a tragic accidental ending to a troubled life. Godspeed Gary, & best of luck with what you find.
