Tuesday, Shannon Price is under intense scrutiny and is being accused of attempting to sell four photos of Gary Coleman before and after he died, according to CBS News and TMZ.
TMZ announced Monday that an anonymous photographer claimed to have four photos of Gary Coleman taken shortly before he died and immediately after he died. The photos were being shopped around to various media to find the highest bidder. The shocking photos show Coleman in the hospital after he died, according to TMZ. One of the photos is of Coleman, eyes closed and hooked to a ventilation machine, and another photo is of him after he was taken off life support. The asking price for the photos is in the low five-figures.
Tuesday, TMZ reported that a tabloid purchased three of the photos, but the death photo was not part of the deal. TMZ estimates that the photos will appear in print within a week.
Shannon Price has been under intense scrutiny since Coleman’s death, and the internet is abuzz with people who believe she pushed Coleman during that fall; although Price has repeatedly denied the accusations and said she wasn’t near him when he fell.
Sunday, a spokesperson for Gary Coleman’s parents told the Daily Mail that they believe foul play was involved in his death; Utah police have stated that they don’t believe foul play was involved at all in Coleman’s death and have closed the investigation. For more on this story, click here.
Initially, Coleman’s parents requested that he be buried in Illinois, but they have since dropped that claim. And Price doesn’t have the legal authority to bury him. Memorial Mortuaries in Utah is holding Coleman’s body until someone arrives with legal documents to show they have the authority over his remains. For more on that story, click here.
Gary Coleman, 42, was rushed to a Utah hospital after he fell in his home and was placed on life support. Doctors reported that he had an intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain). His life support was removed last Friday and he died a few minutes later at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
