Gary Coleman 911 Call Details Released, Wife Afraid to Help

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 2nd 2010 05:03PM

After Gary Coleman suffered a fall on May 26, that led to his death on the 28th, his wife, Shannon Price, called 911, and was reluctant to come to the aid of her husband, TMZ reports.

"He just got home, I heard this big bang, I went downstairs. Blood everywhere. I don't know if he's okay. I'm not down there right now because I have a fever, if I get stressed out I'm going to faint," she told the operator.

"He fell. His head is bloody. There's blood all over the floor. I don't know what happened," Price continued.

"Is there any way you can go down there at all?" the operator asked. "I'll try, I don't know, I mean..." she said.

"I've just been kind of sick. I don't want to be traumatized right now," the 24-year-old added.

She then called out to Coleman. "Gary, are you okay? ... Stay where you are."

With instructions from the 911 operator, Price told Gary to apply pressure. "Gary, you have to put pressure on your wound."

"He's lethargic, I can't really help him. I just need help quick," she went on. "I just can't be here with the blood. I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't. ... There's blood all over and I can't do anything."

"Yeah, I'm just panicked. I don't know what to do ... I just don't want him to die. I'm freaking out," Shannon cried on the phone when told to give the 'Diff'rent Strokes' star a towel.

She finally acquiesces. "You have to put this on your head ... Keep pressure on this, okay, hold this. You need to sit down. Sit down! Gary, sit down!"

Right before the ambulance arrived, Price said, "I'm gagging, I got blood on myself, I can't deal."

Coleman was taken off life support two days later. Doctors determined he suffered from a brain hemorrhage.

I had not read this account ,but I did read that he was lucid at the hospital and since they were divorced I think he may have mentioned the fact to someone that she pushed him down the stairs,,,If she had

May Gary rest in eternal peace! This is sooooo sad...No matter how I feel about blood there is no way I am going to be upstairs and my husband is down stairs bleeding to death because there is too much blood. May be she said that because she was the cause of the blood. She hit him and didn't want him to recover from the injury! I believe this case should be investigated!!! SAD end to his life.

By Julie

Who's to say she didn't knock him up long side the head, and was just telling and 911 dispatcher what she did......... She sounds like a hopeless case of stupidity. I think she needs to be investigated.

What kind of pos can't help a fellow human! Pretty suspect if you ask me. Wonder if they are looking into the possibility of he "making" him fall.

By Brian

Now that is one sorry excuse for a human being! How LAME can one woman get?!?!?!Or a better word for it is PATHETIC!
She says she can't go down to help him(though she was already down there once) becasue she wasn't feeling good and had a FEVER!!! OH MY GOD! POOOOOR THING!
What a pathetic chic!

By jcbrod1

how was there blood all over if he was bleeding inside his head? Does she have x-ray vision?She was some bucktoothed moron who married him for his celebrity

Men always want a young, 20 something wife, but sorry...life INEXPERIENCED, immature, and unreliable. This was an example of that. Older women are fearless, have dealt with responsibilities,but thats what scares most men. If you guys want a child bride, deal with the consequences, guys. Poor Gary, sympathies to his friends and family. Pe deserved a partner to help him when in need.

I SMELL a RAT and somethings FISHYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

By Bette

If I truly loved someone, I would die to help them. My phobia (and it is a bad one), no matter how small they are, I would help my loved one if they were covered with them! She was way to selfish. RIP dear Gary!

By Ro

I'm not sure she could have helped. First of all, I've seen her on tv with GC and she appeared to have an IQ that was marginal at best, and it seems she also has some psychological issues as well. Poor Gary...it's been a hard life for him. I hope he is in a better place. R I P

The woman was a freak or at least I thought she was the first
time I every saw her on TV with him. If you love someone and
they need help quick the survivl mode kicks in. I hope he did
not leave her one cent...RIP troubled star you can finally rest.

Death must have made Gary a better person..When he was alive everyone hated him...

Bunch of hypocrites...you ALL hated him while he was breathing, now he's dead and you HONOR him?

Admit it, he doesn't deserve all the hype...

God's way of "thinning the herd"

By chaz

Seems as though they both had head problems.

By Madashelle

Yup. Especially older women who already raised kids. They had to wipe many a booty and change many a diaper, not to mention having babies throw up all over them, so what's a little blood to an older woman. Some of these younguns don't want to get their hands dirty and are too self-centered to care about anybody but themselves.

By sarah

He didn't die instantly and the Hospital couldn't do anything evidently! What do ya'll expect this poor 24yr old girl to do? She couldn't have done a thing to save his life, he didn't die from blood loss!

By sandi

this whole story..is not right..something smells..they better make sure to check this female out..something is fishy...

By mannamedjoe

Will you idiots stop with your "maybe's! You are saying his x-wife killed him, damned people, get a life and leave the investigation to the pros!

By Thomas

I WONDER IF SHE CALLED ONE OF THE OLSEN TWINS FIRST?
