Gary Coleman was the biggest child star of his time because of how cute he was and how much energy he had.

Fans were very sad when the cult favorite from the 1970s, who played Arnold Jackson on the US sitcom Different Strokes, died at age 42 from a fall in his kitchen.

They were shocked when Gary’s ex-wife, with whom he still lived, was charged with murder.

Price, who is very upset, says she found Coleman lying on the kitchen floor with his head in a pool of blood at their home in Utah.

While calling 911, she was out of breath and said, “I can’t be here with all this blood.”

“I’m throwing up…”Right now I don’t want to be traumatized.

Shannon didn’t take Gary to the hospital with him, and two days after he fell, he turned off his life support machine, even though Gary had asked to be kept alive for two weeks in case something went wrong.

Now, a new documentary looks into what happened to Gary on the day he was found badly hurt and dead in May 2010.

Shannon is still being stubborn, telling the show’s creators, “I would never hurt my husband… ever.”

“A sad end to a legacy”

But she later says she hit Coleman, who was only 4ft 8in, saying, “I slapped him a couple of times, I mean nothing major, nothing like a red flag.”

“People hit and smack each other.” It’s something people do.

“You’re crazy if you say otherwise.”

“Because of this, people say, ‘She killed Gary. He fell down the stairs because she pushed him. That hurts me a lot.

In the Peacock documentary just called Gary, the actor’s lawyer talks about how the couple had a “tumultuous relationship” because Price made fun of her husband’s size. Friends of the actor say there are still “questions to be answered” about his death.

Someone told Shannon she was “depraved” for selling a picture of her dying husband. Shannon said she did it because “people needed to see what he went through.”

The police looked into Gary’s fall and found no wrongdoing. The coroner called it a “accident.”

But Shannon has felt like she has to keep saying she has nothing to do with it.

There is a lot of doubt and drama surrounding the actor’s death, which is a sad end to the life of a man who was loved by millions of people around the world.

Gary was only ten years old when he got the part of Arnold on the NBC show Different Strokes. Arnold was one of two orphans who were taken in by a rich white man.

Boxer Muhammad Ali, actor Mr. T from the 1980s, and First Lady Nancy Reagan at the time all made guest appearances on the show.

Gary made £75,000 an episode, which at the time made him the highest-paid child actor ever.

There was sadness in his life, even though he seemed to have a lot of fun.

He was born with kidney disease, and the medicine he had to take to stay alive slowed his growth.

Gary tried to get a new kidney twice, when he was five and seventeen, but both failed. He ended up on dialysis for 25 years.

Todd Bridges, Gary’s co-star, says Gary’s dad Willie told him, “You’ve got people depending on you,” which made him perform even though he was sick.

After eight years, Different Strokes ended in 1986. Gary had a hard time finding work after being stuck in the role.

He grew to dislike the phrase “What you talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” that he used to insult his on-screen brother, played by Todd.

He promised himself he would never work in show business again because he was depressed, but things were about to get worse when he sued his mother Sue and father Willie for lost wages.

“The punching bag of God”

Coleman found a hole in his finances and thought that his parents and business advisor were mismanaging his money.

It was in 1989 that he took the case to court and won the £900,000 lawsuit that included his parents.

Later, they tried to put him under a Britney Spears-style conservatorship, which would have given them full control over their son, but the judge quickly threw it out.

Best friend Dion Mial tells the show, “Gary felt betrayed and completely abandoned by the people who were closest to him.”

Willie and Sue have denied using the money wrongfully many times. In the documentary, Gary’s dad called Dion, Gary’s friend, a “demon.”

In 1997, Gary met Anna Gray, who worked at a California Blockbuster store, and the two of them moved in together. At the time, Gary was depressed and had made suicide threats.

She says Gary was “very romantic and liked to hold hands, kiss, and snuggle” but never interested in sex while they were together.

He wasn’t getting much work as an actor, and Anna says that people treated him like a “penny arcade” by asking him over and over to say his famous catchphrase.

It also made him angry to be asked for autographs.

In court, he said he wasn’t guilty of a 1998 fight he had with a fan who saw him working as a security guard in a California mall.

The next year, Gary tried to get out of debt.

After his breakup with Anna, he started going out with Shannon Price in 2007.

Gary went to Utah to film the movie Church Ball, and she was there working as an extra. That’s how they met.

In 2007, they got married on a remote hilltop in Nevada’s Valley of Fire State Park. He was almost 40 years old and she was 22.

The couple had problems right away, and in a TV show clip that was never shown, Gary says that Shannon only wants his money.

Not long after they got married, he was arrested for disorderly conduct after having a “heated discussion” with her in public.

Randy Kester, the actor’s lawyer, told the producers of the movie Gary, which is about to come out in the UK, that the relationship between the two was “tumultuous.”

He also made it sound like he wished the star had cut Shannon out of his life after they broke up instead of staying with her.

He also said, “They would joke around and seem happy at times, but then all of a sudden they would get angry, yell, insult, and spiteful.”

“She did something every day, making trouble, putting down his manhood, his size, and sometimes calling him a failure.”

“I always hoped that one day he would tell me, ‘I’m done. I want her to leave my life.'”

“I felt bad for him because he didn’t make it to that point.”

“Gary and I talked about getting a restraining order more than once. He just couldn’t take it anymore.”

Sharon told Gary that she was upstairs when she asked him to put pizza in the oven in May 2010. Gary had just finished his morning dialysis.

She told the documentary that she heard a bang and went downstairs to find the star on the kitchen floor with a cut on her head.

An officer on the 911 line asks Price to make sure Coleman puts pressure on his wound, but Price says, “No I can’t, it’s all bloody. He’s not with it.”

Shannon tells the person taking the call that she has seizures and doesn’t want to be “traumatized right now.”

Gary’s friends are upset about how she was acting. Anna Gray, Gary’s ex-wife, said, “She was more worried about herself than the person she was calling 911 for.” I believe what she did says a lot.

Brandi Buys, another close friend, said, “In my opinion, I don’t think that he fell.”I have a lot to say, but I don’t know what I can say without getting sued. Coleman “didn’t have to fall that far to cause such a serious injury,” said Coleman’s best friend Dion.

“It just raises more questions,” he said. “Shannon saw him get put in the back of an ambulance and then went back inside The house.” Gary was by himself.

Shannon replied that she thought her husband would be “stitched up” at the hospital and then be sent home, and she wasn’t ready to go with him.

She said that she talked to him on the phone while he was getting treatment and that they told each other they loved each other. She was shocked to later get a call saying that Gary had passed out from a brain hemorrhage.

The actor signed papers saying that he wanted to be cared for for at least two weeks before his life support was turned off in case he got really sick.

Shannon, however, points out that it also said machines could be turned off if nothing else could be done.

The moment she said goodbye to her husband, she said, “I went in there and said everything I needed to say: ‘I love you, I’m going to miss you, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me, and you really were loved and cared for.'”

“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do to decide to turn off his life support.”

Dion, Gary’s best friend, was horrified when Shannon sold pictures of him in the hospital to a US tabloid magazine.

He said, “That was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen someone do to another person.”

Coleman called himself “God’s punching bag” many times during his lifetime.

“Gary’s life was full of disappointments.” A lot of people let him down.
