How Did Gary Coleman Die? Inside the Former Child Star's Sudden Death (and Why His Family Suspects His Ex-Wife Was Involved)
Diff'rent Strokes star Gary Coleman suffered a head injury after falling in his home in May 2010 His ex-wife, Shannon Price, took him off of life support two days later Questions regarding the circumstances of Coleman's death (and Price's involvement) have lingered 15 years laterNews of Gary Coleman's sudden death both shocked and confused his fans. The child star who rose to fame in the '70s and '80s for his breakout role on Diff'rent Strokes died on May 28, 2010, after suffering a brain hemorrhage. His ex-wife, Shannon Price, claimed he fell in the Utah home they shared after their year-long marriage ended in 2008. Despite police saying there was no evidence of foul play and ruling his death accidental in October 2010, per The Salt Lake Tribune, friends and family of Coleman have long been suspicious of Price's involvement. In July 2025, she volunteered to take a lie detector test in A&E's docuseries Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, hoping to put the rumors to rest. But her results were inconclusive when she was asked about striking Coleman during their relationship and withholding aid after he fell. Though she claimed she didn't physically cause his fall, the lie detector flagged her response as deceptive. Still, Price maintained her innocence. 'I'm at peace,' she told Lie Detector: Truth or Deception host Tony Harris. 'There is a reason I am not in prison. There is a legit reason for that. It's because they did a thorough investigation.' So, how did Gary Coleman die? Here's everything to know about the child star's sudden death and whether or not his ex-wife was involved. On May 28, 2010, Coleman died after suffering a brain hemorrhage. According to Price — who was allegedly living with the actor as a 'roommate' at the time — she was in bed while he was making her dinner when she heard a 'big loud boom.' She found Coleman in the kitchen, lying in a pool of blood, and called 911. In a recording of the call played in the 2024 Peacock documentary GARY, Price can be heard refusing the operator's instructions to help her ex-husband. 'I'm gagging,' she said in one clip. 'I got blood on myself, I can't deal.' Two days after his alleged fall, Price took Coleman off life support. She later told Harris in Lie Detector: Truth or Deception that she believed he fell and hit his head on their kitchen island. Coleman died at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah. He had relocated to the state with his ex-wife after they had rekindled their relationship. Though they lived together at the time of his death, Price maintained in GARY that they were more like roommates than spouses. Coleman was 42 years old when he died. The former child star had a lifelong kidney condition that stunted his growth and led to numerous health complications throughout his life. He underwent two kidney transplants before the age of 14 and, at one point, required dialysis four times a day to survive. Coleman also underwent multiple surgeries and experienced seizures in the years leading up to his death. His mother, Sue Coleman, told PEOPLE that her son's talent was 'God's way of compensating him for what he's been through.' Price was never charged with any involvement in Coleman's death. However, his loved ones said in GARY that they believe there's more to the story than she's telling. Coleman's friend, Anna Gray, noted that the actor had stated in an advance healthcare directive that he wanted 'at least two weeks of care before any plugs were pulled.' Another friend, Brandy Buys, stated that she didn't think Coleman fell. In Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, Price claimed that she 'would never hurt' Coleman who she described as 'so fragile' due to his congenital kidney defect. The condition, which he had since birth, stunted his growth at 4 feet and 8 inches and put him on dialysis when he was 17. Friends described Coleman's relationship with Price as 'toxic' in GARY and said that the former child star allegedly attempted to take out restraining orders against his ex-wife but never followed through. 'I know the police had been there quite a few times to domestic issues,' Buys told GARY filmmakers. 'They both laid their hands on each other.' Price, however, has denied ever hurting Coleman. When Price was asked if she physically caused Coleman's fall during her test on Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, she said she did not. The detector indicated 'deception,' and the examiner, former FBI agent George Olivo, said that he was '100% certain' that there was 'more to this story that hasn't been told.' Price told Entertainment Tonight in June 2010 that Coleman's final words were simple and revealing of the state he was in. 'He said, 'I love you and my head hurts,' ' she said. 'Those were the last [words] he said to me because he was in a lot of pain." Coleman's ex-wife also claimed that she was advised by doctors to take him off life support because he 'wasn't going to make it' and that before his fall, he was given less than a year to live. When news of Coleman's death spread, fans and former costars mourned the loss of the Diff'rent Strokes star, remembering him for his humor, talent and iconic role as Arnold Jackson. But even 15 years after his death, questions remain about what really happened. Todd Bridges, who costarred as Willis Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes, told PEOPLE in September 2024 that he still has 'a lot of questions' about how Coleman died. 'The last conversation me and Gary had, he was talking about how he didn't feel safe,' Bridges said. 'There's a lot of questions — questions about the stairs he fell down, how he died. I just think that the City of Utah did not want to be responsible for killing Gary Coleman.' Read the original article on People

Sorry, But Bella Ramsey Doesn't Want You to Call Pedro Pascal 'Daddy'
Pedro Pascal is daddy—to you, to us, to the internet at large. And his The Last of Us co-star, Bella Ramsey, feels some type of way about it. Aside from his acting chops, he's known for his charisma, and the only thing we love more than his undeniable charm is his sweet friendship with Bella, who plays Ellie opposite his character, Joel, on the dystopian HBO Max hit. As Pedro graced the cover of Vanity Fair's July/August issue, Bella got candid about their connection and dropped an unexpected bombshell. The actor, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, revealed that they immediately disliked fans' affinity for calling Pedro 'daddy.' 'I felt worried for him. I want to protect him from that whole joke of becoming the internet's daddy,' Bella told the publication. 'I was like, 'I don't want everyone to refer to you as that and see you as that. You're so much more.'' Elsewhere in the interview, Pedro opened up about the 'daddy' label and how he wasn't always aligned with the public's perception of him. When Chelsea Handler joked that 2023 was 'the year everyone became horny for Pedro Pascal' at the Critics Choice Awards, Pedro revealed he felt like a fraud as he attended the show after dislocating his shoulder. 'I was in a sling, I was overweight, and when the camera cut to me, I didn't think anything could be further from the truth,' he shared. Pedro has also welcomed the nickname over the years. When he sat down for Vanity Fair's Lie Detector series in 2022, he playfully said, 'Daddy is a state of mind. I'm your daddy.' And, as proven by his Materialists press tour with Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson, he's totally in on the joke and has embraced the title. When asked if he prefers to be the big spoon or little spoon during an interview with Dakota, his expression as he uttered 'big' has lived in our minds rent-free ever since.

Gary Coleman's Ex-Wife Shannon Price to Take Lie Detector Test amid Suspicion Surrounding the Actor's 2010 Death
The new A&E series, Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding Gary Coleman's 2010 death His ex-wife, Shannon Price, voluntarily completed a polygraph test for the show after years of public speculation about her involvement in the death The two-hour premiere airs Thursday, July 10 at 9 p.m. on A&EThe search for answers surrounding Gary Coleman's 2010 death is continuing. The new A&E series, Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, will put the late actor's ex-wife, Shannon Price, in the hot seat. The two-hour premiere, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Harry, is set to air on July 10, more than 15 years after Coleman died inside the Utah home that he and Price shared. 'Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price agrees to take a polygraph test to address persistent public suspicion regarding her potential involvement in his death, even though she was never charged in connection with it,' the logline reads. 'The episode revisits the circumstances surrounding Coleman's passing and explores whether Price has been misjudged by public opinion — or whether the results raise new questions.' The Diff'rent Strokes star and Price got married in August 2007, but divorced the following year, although they continued living together. In May 2010, Coleman suffered an intracranial hemorrhage after falling in his kitchen, and two days after being placed in a medically-induced coma, Price removed him from life support. Many people have expressed concerns about her decision in the years since, including his former partner Anna Gray, who claimed in a Peacock documentary that Coleman 'had an advanced healthcare directive where he stated he wanted at least two weeks of care before any plugs were pulled." Price also participated in the special, which aired in February and was titled GARY. She stated that she was in bed when she asked Coleman, who was born with a congenial kidney defect, to make her food after he got home from dialysis. After hearing a 'big loud boom,' she explained that she found Coleman, who was 42 years old at the time, in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. In a recording of her 911 call reporting the incident, Price could be heard refusing to listen to the operator's instructions to help her former husband. Price has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, saying in the documentary that she 'would never hurt my husband, ever.' In an interview later that month, Inside Edition Chief Correspondent Jim Moret asked Price why she didn't 'try to help Gary after he fell.' 'You know, I did help him,' Price replied. 'I actually had to run around looking for a towel because we didn't have any in the downstairs bathroom.' 'What people have to understand and realize is this is the first real traumatic situation I ever had to witness,' she added. In 2010, Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard told PEOPLE that 'there was absolutely nothing suspicious about [Coleman's] death' and 'there was 'no [criminal] investigation going on.' Coleman's death certificate also listed his manner of death as an 'accident.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Lie Detector: Truth or Deception premieres on Thursday, July 10 at 9 p.m. ET, followed by new episodes every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET beginning July 17. Read the original article on People

Summoned Again In Formula E Case, KTR's "Lie Detector Test" Dare To Revanth Reddy
Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao has been issued a summons, once again, to appear before the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in connection with the alleged irregularities in the Hyderabad Formula E case. KTR, as he is popularly known, has been asked to appear before the ACB at 10 am on Monday. Reacting to the summons, KTR said the Congress government was trying to keep people busy with a circus and distractions because they cannot run a government. He said the Congress and its "clown Chief Minister's antics won't deter us". KTR said he was being investigated in the Formula-E case, where Rs 44 crore was "transferred from one bank to another, and the money was very much in the account of Formula E". The BRS leader said as a law-abiding citizen, he would fully cooperate with the probe officials, but took a dig at the Chief Minister, referring to a case in which he is facing an ACB probe too. "Mr Revant Reddy, as we both are facing an ongoing ACB investigation, why not both of us take a Lie Detector test in the presence of a Judge, broadcast it on Live Television and let the whole of Telangana decide who's the culprit. Do you have the courage to take the test along with me #BagMan? he posted on X. "Why waste crores of public money by repeated enquiries and propaganda, especially when you keep claiming every day that the state is bankrupt," he asked. Significantly, KTR's sister and BRS MLC K Kavitha has posted support to her brother on X, posting that she strongly condemned the repeated issuance of notices to "our working president @KTRBRS as part of political agenda". She said, "No matter how many conspiracies you hatch, we will continue to expose your failures in the public sphere." Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar reacted to KTR's post on X, saying it reflects his deep, visceral personality and his current mindset. "Calling commissions of inquiry established by due process of law, or the judicial system of India 'a waste of public money...' is the same ignorance as your father who wanted to "rewrite entirely" the Constitution of India drafted by intellectual giants like Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar and a pantheon of greats, and the founding fathers of the nation," he said. "The problem of thinking you are the state is not only wrong, illegal, immoral, but also medieval, patriarchal and feudal. You are not the state. No individual is above the law. Don't you get it at all? Of course, you don't! Your unbridled, unrestrained arrogance from stolen money and corruption is so deep that even 18 months have not been enough for a reality check?" The Congress leader mocked KTR for claiming that the BRS which would win 100 seats, whereas they did not get even 40. He said KTR had claimed that they would decide the next government at the Centre, whereas the people of Telangana had given them no seats.
