Woman who pulled plug on Gary Coleman was not his wife

GARY Coleman was divorced from his wife when she made the decision to turn off his life support.

Coleman, 42, and Shannon Price, 24, legally split on August 12, 2008, nearly two years before he suffered a brain haemorrhage that put him in a coma, according to court papers obtained by
Entertainment Tonight.

"Initially, it concerned me, because it seemed like it (the hospitalisation) was a pretty short-term thing," Coleman's lawyer, Randy Kester, said, adding that the former child star's death "happened so quickly".

A statement from the Utah hospital where the Diff'rent Strokes star died last week said he had completed an advanced directive that granted Ms Price permission to make medical decisions for him.

"An advanced health-care directive remains in effect regardless of a patient's marital status, unless modified by the patient," the statement said.

Shannon Price, Gary Coleman's gorgeous widow may have some explaining to do.   She released a statement through her brother at a press conference on Friday.

"We are very grateful for all the wonderful support everyone has been extending to Gary's family. Thousands of emails have poured in to the hospital. This has been so comforting to the family to know how beloved he still is. … Thank you so much for all that you guys have done and for the support and prayers that you guys have given us."

Whatchu [not] talking 'bout Shannon? Why did you have to release a statement through your brother? 

In case you have been living under a rock and have not read this blog, Gary Coleman was involved in an "accidental" slip n fall at his Utah home.  [sounds fishy] This caused a brain bleed.  He was taken to the hospital and put in critical condition, and died after his beautiful wife, Shannon pulled the plug.
