Gary Coleman's cause of death has been ruled a fall, according to his newly released death certificate.

Chronic renal failure was also listed as a contributing factor to the actor's death, recorded as an accident. UsMagazine.com first reported that Coleman underwent an intense four-hour dialysis treatment hours before he hit his head, which lead to his brain hemorrhage.

Shannon Price is listed as Coleman's spouse, even though they were technically divorced at the time of Coleman's death, on May 28 at age 42.

    Gary's wife is finally speaking out. Her spokesperson will be on the show "Issues" tonight--on Headline news Channel. I can't imagine what her response to all this is going to be. She says he did not want to be humiliated, but then the photos?

    I'm surprised the Utah police gave up, or gave in, so quickly. With charges of recent domestic violence, and the fact that Shannon could easily overpower Gary, a good "push" was all that needed to happen. Then refuse any sort of first aid/medical attention, followed by her smiling at his deathbed photo, disregard for contents of his living will, and then immediate removal of items from the house. Sounds like probable cause to me. Yes, he died from a cerebral hemmoraghe, but how was it really caused? Makes the Utah police dept look stupid!

  • June 15, 2010 - 8:08am Where is Gary family??

    Gary was a sick man,and Price didn't kill Gary..Accidents do happen..Price is Gary ex-wife,but with no children and his family have turned their backs on Gary then the ex- wife is next in line..Price should get Gary belonging,and scatter his ashes at the choo,choo train tracks....

  • June 15, 2010 - 3:17am Maybe you should of respect him in life, rather than in death.

    I find it funny how everyone hates his ex wife, and yet NO one really cared about him when he was alive but yet in death, he seems to get all the respect he deserved in life. So sad.

    That horse faced b.i.t.c.h. offed him and we all know it. He may not have been a prize in the looks department, but she is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen. I can't believe he married this murdering s.k.a.n.k. but he did divorce her and she had no business pulling the plug or expecting to get any $$$$ from his estate. I hope someone starts an investigation on her. She only married him for his $$$$ and he must have had vision problems, because she has a horrid face and mouth.

    SHE KILLED HIM, BUT SINCE SHE IS WHITE, THEY SEE NO REASON TO CONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION. U CAN HIDE FROM MAN, BUT U CAN NEVER HIDE FROM GOD, U WILLL GET YOUR'S. I WONDER WHO WILL DEFEND U THEN.

    interesting that Gary signed a paper in 2006 claiming that if he were ever in that position, to NOT pill the plug in him, filed bu Shannon Price herself. Now tell me if shes not after money, then why has she cleaned him out alreday? go check out the story on TMZ.

    This is sad to hear!

  • June 14, 2010 - 4:16pm ListenUp

    She definitely offed him (allegedly)! What a wretched woman (allegedly)!

  • June 14, 2010 - 3:24pm D

    I agree, bury the guy and move on with life! I'm sick of hearing about this story. They've run it into the ground.

  • June 14, 2010 - 3:19pm Pam

    I went on TMZ and they had a video of Gary and Shannon. Gary clearly states that "All you care about is money". I wish someone who truly cared about Gary would step forward, and make sure he has a decent funeral. After all these years, his parents who robbed him blind are all over tv, and Shannon, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer is all over tv. When you have lost someone that you truly love, your not giving interviews, etc.

    For the first person that commented on this site that doesnt think dialysis is intense well it is i have been on it for 6 yrs you dont know what a person goes thru unless you do dialysis you come and take 4 hr treatments 3 days a week an be on a strict diet and its very very hard on the body especially the last hour when they take all water weight gain out of you and you have huge cramps in your legs and go home and jsut want to sleep gary was probably so worn out and tired and fell just lay him to rest and have him rest in peace.

    SAD TO SAY, BUT IF HIS X-WIFE WERE A TAD BIT DARKER, YES DARKER, NONE OF US WOULD BE SITTING HERE, TALKING ABOUT HER IN THIS LIGHT. THIS INDIVIDUAL, IS FLAKY, TO SAY THE LEAST.

    Intense 4 hour dialysis? Not really, since normal dialysis is 3-4 hours. He probably never took care of himself and followed the proper diet, which could have led to his fall/brain hemmorrhage

  • June 14, 2010 - 2:08pm the ex did it

    a fall, a push, what's the diff really....

  • June 14, 2010 - 2:08pm Lizzie
