Judge James Taylor of the 4th District Court in Provo, Utah ruled to delay for 48 hours the cremation of the body of Gary Coleman and appointed an impartial 3rd party to watch over the Coleman Estate until a final decision is made. Two different wills for Gary Coleman are being contested in court.

Overview

  • Former FBI examiner George Olivo reported that Price failed the lie detector when asked if she physically caused Coleman’s fall
  • Responses to questions about striking Coleman and withholding assistance yielded inconclusive polygraph results
  • Utah authorities ruled Coleman’s 2010 head injury accidental and closed the case with no charges filed
  • Price’s removal of Coleman from life support after two days conflicted with his advanced directive specifying at least two weeks of care
  • Price continues to assert her innocence, emphasizing the thoroughness of the initial investigation in her defense ahead of the show
