Coleman Death Under Investigation as 911 Call is Released

Posted:

Gary Coleman’s death last week is now under investigation, according to a report Wednesday a few hours after the grisly 911 call was released.

Although the scene at Gary Coleman’s home the day he died was “nothing suspicious,” according to the police report obtained by TMZ Wednesday, a report at RadarOnline said the late child star’s body was turned over to medical examiners for investigation. The 42-year old Coleman died Friday from a brain hemorrhage after reportedly falling while leaving to prepare his wife some food.

“The state medical examiner’s office looks at cases to determine answers to questions,” Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank told Radar. She declined to elaborate further.

The 911 call from his wife Shannon Price was released earlier, painting a picture of the scene after Coleman’s fall. He was “bubbling at mouth,” Price told the dispatcher.

“There’s blood all over and I can’t do anything,” Price said.

Price resisted the dispatcher’s instructions on treating Coleman because she herself was gagging. At one point she said “I can’t deal.”

Later Wednesday TMZ reported Price and Coleman divorced two years ago, citing Coleman's divorce attorney. It was not immediately clear if she had legal power to make medical decisions for Coleman.

The official police report, also obtained by TMZ, noted that when Officer K Johnson arrived at the Utah home one week ago, there was “blood on the floor” but the late actor was still able to speak from the ground with a towel on the back of his head.
