A terrible and somewhat shocking death bed photo of and unconscious Gary Coleman was published Wednesday by Globe magazine; the photo appears to have been taken by Coleman’s ex-wife Shannon Price and she is in the photo. Three photos of Gary Coleman before he died were reportedly sold for $10,000 to Globe magazine, and many have reported (including Dion Mial the executive of Coleman’s will) that Shannon profited from the sale of the photos.
Globe magazine would not say who sold the photos to them or how much they paid for them.
Globe magazine posted the words "IT WAS MURDER" as the headline. To see the photo on Globe magazines cover, click here.
According to the Globe magazine website Mial attempted to stop Globe magazine from publishing photo, but the attempt clearly failed.
Tuesday Gary Coleman’s will was filed in a Utah court and left sad detailed instructions about what he wanted for his funeral. To read more about that story, click here.

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.
On May 26, 2010 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 two days later and he died a few minutes after that at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
There has been a lot of controversy over the 911 call that Shannon made to the police after Gary fell in their home.
