Gary Coleman Death Photos Being Offered For Cash

Photographs taken of actor Gary Coleman as he lay dead and dying are being peddled for a cash sum "in the low five figures," celebrity gossip website TMZ.com reported Monday.

The website did not say who was selling the four photos of Coleman but said the snaps were taken in the hour leading up to his death. The pictures show the former "Diff'rent Strokes" child actor hooked up to a ventilator with his eyes closed.
One was taken after Coleman's life support was switched off.

"It is not a pleasant sight," the website said, of the one photo editors looked at before declining to see the rest.

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.

What'choo Talkin' 'bout Willis? **UPDATE** GARY COLEMAN IS DEAD

***UPDATE****

Gary Coleman died today of a brain hemorrhage at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo and the Diff'rent Strokes curse continues.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

42-year-old former child actor Gary Coleman underwent emergency surgery in a Provo, Utah hospital after he suffered a head injury that reportedly occurred from a fall.

Coleman is listed in critical condition and his brother-in-law has revealed that he was transported from his home in Utah to a hospital at 12:50 P.M. ET on Wednesday, according to
MTV.com.

Coleman has experienced numerous
health-related problems over the past several months, but it is unknown if the prior incidents are related to his current condition.

Coleman suffered a seizure three months ago during an interview with The Insider and he received medical assistance from Dr. Drew of VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew before paramedics showed up to provide him with further treatment.

In January, the former child actor was hospitalized for what was believed to be a seizure. Coleman was born with failed kidneys and he is required to receive
dialysis on a regular basis to treat his condition.

Randy Kester, his attorney, announced during the fall of 2009 that his client underwent heart surgery as a result of complications that surfaced due to pneumonia.

Coleman is most famous as an entertainer for his role as Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes from 1978-1986. He was involved in a famous court case 17 years ago in which he regained a portion of his earnings from his
business advisers and parents who were found guilty of misappropriating his finances.
