There are several Internet rumors that someone is trying to sell photos of the late Gary Coleman taken hours before he died and after he was taken off life support.
Apparently the seller is asking a five-figure price for the photos. Some sites say it is his ex-wife Shannon Price behind the morbid sale. Another site said three of the four photos have been sold to a tabloid and will hit newsstands later this week.
Whoever took the photos of the Diff’rent Strokes star in his last hours, hooked up to ventilators, must have had this sale scheme in mind. A photo session was organized to snap the pics while Coleman took his last breathes and after the life-support was stopped. To me it is completely disrespectful to even consider selling these photos, described as graphic. While I am sure one of those junk publications will print these sad photos but I urge people to boycott the publication for printing them.
It is bad enough that someone tried to sell them but the fact that a buyer was found just makes it worse.
Coleman died May 28 at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center after suffering a brain hemorrhage following a fall at his home. The former child star rose to the top and then toppled down. He had a tormented life — please don’t torment him in death.
