The ex-wife of the late Gary Coleman, Shannon Price, is said to be living in positively horrid living conditions. Reports say she is living in what is considered to be "total squalor."
According to a report from RadarOnline, Price is living in Utah, and the conditions in which she is living are absolutely disgusting.
Shannon Price was living with Gary Coleman when the former Diff'rent Strokes actor (Coleman played Arnold Jackson on the show) had a seizure and hit his head in May of 2010, and subsequently died on May 28. Following his death, Price moved back into the home in Utah where she grew up. She filed a lawsuit against his estate for a piece of the proverbial pie, but nothing has been reported about her receiving anything yet.
Inside Edition first broke the story about Shannon Price living in squalor, and their reporter Jim Moret had the following to say about the situation.
"To be blunt, this looks like an episode of Hoarders," says Moret.
He explains that Christmas decorations are still up from Christmas of 2009. Price's father sleeps on one couch in the tiny living room and her dogs sleep on another. The bathroom is positively disgusting with black slime growing everywhere, and supposedly Price goes to a neighbor's home to take a shower.
Moret says the home is a far cry--an entire world away, from the one in which she lived with Gary Coleman.
What makes someone live this way? Is Shannon Price in a depression of sorts over Gary Coleman's death? It really didn't seem as though she loved him. After all, she told the 911 operator when she found Gary Coleman lying on the floor in a pool of blood that she couldn't stand the sight of blood, so couldn't go close to him to see if he was breathing. People can detest the sight of blood, but when a loved one is in danger, they forgo their own fears and concentrate on the loved one's imminent needs first and foremost.
Price was often thought to be a gold digger, and revelled in the tiny bit of fame she garnered from having been married to the former Diff'rent Strokes child star. Perhaps now the public is getting a view of who she really is.
