Gary Coleman's Parents Seeking Custody Of His Remains
Even though he hadn't spoken to them in years, Gary Coleman's parents are seeking custody of their son's body.
His former manager, Victor Perillo, claims that Gary's parents, Sue and Wille Coleman, are the legal custodians of his body because he was divorced from his wife, Shannon Price. They want to bury him in his hometown of Zion, Illinois.
His parents said they intended to reconcile with Gary before his death but learned about his hospitalization only from the media.
Perillo said:
"The arrangement we're working on now is to get Gary back to his next of kin, which is his parents. The funeral home has been notified, the sheriff's office, we've notified them that there is to be no communication on where the body is to go unless its dealt with legally with Gary's next of kin, and that's the way it stands right now."
We hope that's what Gary would have wanted.

Poor Gary is going to be rolling in his grave over this one! Those god awful people haven't even spoken to him or even seen him since he stopped being their ATM machine…they have balls bigger than a circus clown for asking for his remains now after years of abuse and not giving a flying shit about him they now want his body??/ Those bastards are smelling a lawsuit/money and that is all they care about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DONT THINK GAY CARES…HE'S DEAD…
It was one thing for Gary's parents to be allowed into the funeral service but he would never want to have been taken by his parents. They were estranged for TWENTY YEARS. People knew how he felt about his parents for all those twenty years. Not right.
I've been there. No one wants to be buried in Zion, Illinois.
yeah it is really sad that he really had no one who was out for his best interest
what does willis get?
They want his body and any future money made from his name. I was wondering how long this would take. They are right on schedule. I foresee future "paid" interviews from his parents. Look for his hair or belly button lint being sold on ebay soon.
Scummy….really scummy. Bad enough they screwed the kid over in life, now they are going to pick up where they left off now that he's gone. Sad. I hope he haunts them both.
is it true they buried him in a Coleman cooler?
Um NO he wouldn't want this…God the man can't even get peace in death.
Shannon Price is Gary Coleman's legacy? Just a short time ago, he was running for office in California? I guess John McCain had his Sarah Palin so it is only fitting that a man with an amazing history as Gary Coleman be left with Shannon Price as the face to remember him by? Why do so many talented figures self-destruct? Hollywood horror stories.

They will be selling the pics of his dead body first, then they will sell his body piece by piece . money grubbing scum..
Oh so they just HAPPEN to try to contact him on the day he was going to the hospital? Are you fucking kidding me???? These are the same people that STOLE all his Different Strokes money….they should NOT get his remains. And as for his Ex wife, if you heard the 911 tape, she should be looked into for murder or at least manslaughter.
They already stole all his money and he was forced to work as a security guard because he was broke. Now they want his body? Even in death he can't escape his greedy effing parents.
