Gary Coleman's Ashes Are Just Sitting On A Lawyer's Desk, With No Place To Go - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Gary Coleman is resting in peace, all right...on an office desk in Utah.

A spokeswoman for the late Diff'rent Strokes star's ex-wife, Shannon Price, tells E! News that a third-party lawyer charged with overseeing Coleman's estate still has his ashes.

But Shannon hopes a court will approve her request to be named Coleman's common-law wife, which would pave the way for her to gain control of his assets and fulfill what she believed were the late actor and train enthusiast's final wishes.

And those are?

"Shannon wants to do a road trip and honor Gary's wishes to spread some of his ashes on the Golden Spikes, and she wants to put some in a necklace around her neck, so she always has Gary with her," said Price's rep, Shiela Erickson.

That, however, will ultimately be up to a judge who must decide whether to grant Price common-law status on the grounds that the two cohabitated even after she and Coleman were divorced. Right now, per the terms of Coleman's last official will at the time of his death on May 31, 2010, his former business manager and girlfriend Anna Gray is the sole executor.

Robert Jeffs, the third-party attorney in possession of Coleman's remains, did not return E! News' calls seeking comment.

Said Erickson: "I did not know they were divorced, not until the night before it was made public after his death. He always called her his wife...He never wanted the divorce."

The next hearing over Price's petition is set for April 19, after which the person awarded control over Coleman's ashes will be able to find a permanent home for them.

It's a shame that even in death Gary hasn't been able to find the peace that eluded him in life.

She should get nothing. Absolutely NOTHING!!!

1. Gary Coleman was a big star, even though he was a short person in height. What did SHE ever star in that we know of? Nothing!!

2. Gary was adored by everyone, even though he suffered from some health issues and emotional problems. What did SHE do for him? Nothing, except drain him of his money and posessions!!

3. When Gary fell in the kitchen and was bleeding from his head, what did SHE do? Nothing!!! Except yell down to him from upstairs on what to do. And offered very little help!!!!!!!!!!!

4. What was she worth to him? As far as I'm concerned, nothing!! As Billy Preston's '70s song says; Nothing from nothing leaves nothing!!

5. Should she get Gary's ashes? NO!!! Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Did she go with Gary to the hospital? No!!!!! She claimed that she was sick at the time and supposedly couldn't go!!

Doesn't even deserve to have Gary's ashes. They should just give her a good swift kick in the butt and send her on her merry way!!

The nerve of her!!! I'd give her nothing!! NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

And if the judge DOESN'T decide in her favor,what then?

Ms. Price may end up being sent to prison for life for negligence.

Larenz09 · 03-14-2011, 11:41 PM

Wish that was so, but probably not. She'll get nothing.
