Monday morning, ABC News reported that Gary Coleman’s estranged parents are asking questions about their son’s death, but no details have been released about his death. According to Coleman’s wife, Shannon, Gary fell at their home in Utah last Wednesday. He wasn’t taken to a hospital until Thursday after he becoming unconscious, and he died Friday after his life support was removed.

Coleman’s parents Willie and Sue Coleman said that they have called Shannon several times but she won’t return their phone calls. Utah police have said that there isn’t an investigation because they don’t suspect foul play. The Coleman’s want closure and they are not getting it.

"Gary Coleman's parents are telling us they want answers, they want to know what happened to their son, how did he fall, what are the circumstances of his death," reported People.com.

"We're not pointing fingers at anyone, but we need to know exactly what happened," Sue Coleman told People.com.

The ABC News video below shows the last known video of Gary Coleman from three months ago, and he is very angry at the person interviewing him.  The relationship between Gary and his wife seems to have eroded.

    I think Shannon was way to calm, and way to relaxed to the fact of her "husband" laying in a pool of blood dying for the police not to delve deeper into this. With the history of domestic violence, and the now fued over his estate...humm Utah Police you might want to take another look...
