A shocking new documentary claims that “Diff’rent Strokes” child star Gary Coleman may have been murdered and suggests the heinous act was committed by none other than his own wife.
The explosive claims come in Peacock’s Gary, which premiered Aug. 29 and delves into the tragic life and mysterious death of the boy who captivated America with his line, “What are you talking about, Willis?”
Coleman died on May 28, 2010, two days after a mysterious fall at his home caused intracranial hemorrhage and cardiac arrest.
Coleman’s death at age 42 was officially ruled an accident, but close friends now call it foul play and blame his now-widow, Shannon Price.
But his wife has consistently denied these allegations, saying: “I didn’t touch him… nothing happened.”

The explosive claims come from Peacock’s ‘Gary,’ which premiered on August 29 and delves into the tragic life and mysterious death of the boy who captivated America with his line, ‘What are you talking about, Willis?’
But Coleman’s ex, Anna Gray, isn’t buying it: “I think Price’s actions speak volumes, and I don’t have to say much more than that.”
The explosive documentary takes an in-depth look at Price and his actions on that fateful day.
A chilling 911 call reveals Price refused to help her bleeding husband.
She then fled the scene, claiming she did not want to be “traumatized.”
Price did not go to the hospital with Coleman and later disconnected her power after just two days, against Coleman’s express written wishes.
On top of that, Price even sold Coleman’s deathbed photo, a move one friend called “depraved.”
While there is no smoking gun, Gary leaves viewers wondering if the beloved child star’s death was really just a tragic accident.
Although police may have ruled the death an accident, close friend Darren Nord calls the incident “suspicious.”

Coleman’s death at age 42 was officially ruled an accident, but close friends now call it foul play and blame his wife, Shannon Price.
His long-time friend Dion Mial also said: “We were absolutely baffled, because there were too many unanswered questions.”
Other friends Darren Nord and Brandi Buys, who knew Coleman in his later years, also said his death was suspicious.
The documentary also delves into Coleman’s troubled past, including allegations that his parents stole millions of his earnings.
Prior to his death, the actor was also undergoing his third hospitalization in a year, after suffering multiple seizures.
The 1.43-metre star’s growth was hampered by a congenital kidney defect and she had also received two kidney transplants.
Coleman played the little rascal Arnold Jackson and his famous line, “What are you talking about, Willis?” became a pop culture catchphrase.
But he was never able to recapture the stardom he enjoyed as a child and teenager. As an adult, he appeared in several shows, but much of his work was straight to video.
However, he still often appeared in the headlines, usually for the wrong reasons.
In 2007, he was arrested after a “heated argument” with his wife. Utah police cited him for misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

But his wife has consistently denied these claims, saying: “I didn’t touch him… nothing happened.”
Two years later, in July 2009, he and Price were again involved in a domestic dispute in which his wife was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.
His temper got him into trouble again in 2010, when he was arrested on domestic violence assault charges. He spent a night in jail that time.
Coleman lost most of his fortune in a protracted legal battle with his adoptive parents, who had control of his wealth until he turned 18. In the end, he was left with just $200,000.
In April 2022, actress Molly Shannon says she was sexually harassed by the late Diff’rent Strokes actor.
The 57-year-old actress aired the allegations during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, going into detail about her harrowing experience with Coleman.

The documentary also delves into Coleman’s troubled past, including allegations that his parents stole millions of his earnings.
Shannon said the incident occurred in 1987, after she had signed a settlement with agent Mark Randall, who also represented Coleman.
She claims she went to meet Randall and Coleman for tea at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, before being invited to visit the Diff’rent Strokes star’s Presidential Suite.
Shortly afterward, Shannon says, her agent left the room, and that’s when she says Coleman’s behavior became predatory and “relentless.”
Shannon said Coleman, who played Arnold Jackson on Diff’rent Strokes from 1978 to 1986, initially seemed “very sweet,” inviting her to sit on a bed in the room before beginning to tickle her.
“So he tried to kiss me and get on top of me and I was like, ‘No, Gary, stop,'” she told Stern.
Shannon said she eventually stormed out of the hotel room and warned her agent to keep a closer eye on the actor.
