Gary Coleman Cause of Death Revealed

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 14th 2010 05:01PM

According to a death certificate obtained by ET, Gary Coleman died simply from a "fall" that happened by "accident." Chronic renal failure was also listed as a contributing factor to the actor's death. In addition, Shannon Price is listed as Coleman's spouse, even though they were technically divorced at the time of Coleman's death.

Update: A judge ruled on Monday that Coleman's remains be cremated no sooner than Wednesday afternoon so his ex-girlfriend, Anna Gray, has enough time to travel to Utah and see his body, the Associated Press reports. In addition, the Utah judge appointed an independent attorney to oversee the actor's property and cremation until all disputes are settled between Gray and Price.

The autopsy was completed last week, and Price has said she plans to scatter his ashes around trains.

Coleman died on May 28 after suffering a intracranial hemorrhage that left him in a coma and on life support. The 'Diff'rent Strokes' actor was taken to the hospital and after being on life support for at least a day, his ex-wife Shannon Price made the decision to remove him from the machinery that was keeping him alive. He was 42 years old.

His fatal fall occurred after an "intense 4-hour dialysis session" to treat his kidney disease, his friend Jeremy Spence told Us Weekly a few weeks ago."Dialysis had taken a lot out of him that day," Spence says. "He just wanted to go home, but he was pretty weak."

Coleman saga continues though as the actor's 2005 will, which is decidedly more official-looking than a partially handwritten 2007 version, leaves everything to one Anna Gray. Who is Anna Gray?

Coleman's ex-wife Price is not named in the new will and neither are his estranged parents, Sue and William Coleman. Price maintains her handwritten 2007 addendum will supersede the recently filed will. In the addendum, Coleman reportedly wrote, "I made this change of free will and was not coerced in any way. This I have done because of my personal selfishness and weakness and I love her with all my heart."

"fall" that happened by "accident."

Accidently brained by his gargantuan ex-wife.

Yes, I agree about Conan's hair. It does nothing for him after all these years. He could get that pompadore under control by cutting his hair shorter in that area. It reminds me of Woody Woodpecker... and while it might have been his "signature look" from his start, it's time to change it. He could look a lot better if he made this small change to his haircut.

That Shannon woman is so sneaky is all i can say. I still think seriously there's more to gary's death than meets the eye. What should have been done was have a good csi team doing the investigation in the first place. Utah police do things so strange ......

By Baci302

I agree. How does this medical examiner know that she didn't give Gary a little "help" and push him down the stairs. Now she wants to cremate his body and get rid of the evidence.

SO let me get this straight...........Price "is listed as Coleman's spouse, even though they were technically divorced at the time of Coleman's death". I sure don't understand that! Does anyone understand how you can be listed as a spouse when you are technically divorced? If so, please 'splain me!

Your username says it all Zero. Jennifer Anniston is a lovely young lady and you are just somebody who has nothing good to say. I am willing to bet you have never even met her, ZERO now that says it all.!!!!!!

By Hmm...

Wow, Rick and Russ are so stupid...

So his username's zero. What about it?

And "a@@hole"? I mean, really... Either you don't understand the point of using symbols, or you were trying to make a REALLY bad joke.
Well, zero's stupid too... He doesn't know Jennifer Aniston. >.>

I'd do her, out of sympathy of course.

By leon

I must have missed something. Where is Jennifer Anniston mentioned in this article?

By val

He shouldn't have been getting that lazy greedy woman anything to eat.I think she took him of life support cause she didn't want all of Gary's money going to hospital bills Shannon you are cursed!

Gary was a pretty funny dude. He ran for governor here in California and, during the campaign, he said some funny things. He was smarter than you think. Of course, his talent was limited. And his choice in women was terrible. God bless Gary.

This is a sad case of managing the child star the wrong way- so lets hope Michael Jackson case reveals the same.

By Sunshinmim

My heart goes out to Gary Coleman......the whole incident is quite questionable....and his mate sounds suspicious....so sad. I pray Mr. Coleman rests in peace now.
