Gary Coleman's Ex-Wife Shops Death Photos and $50,000 Interview

On May 28, Shannon Price instructed doctors to remove her husband, Gary Coleman, from life support -- only the Diff'rent Strokes star was actually Price's ex-husband, and the controversial decision set a series of murky developments into motion. Just hours after Coleman's death, an incriminating 911 call surfaced where Price resisted helping the actor after he suffered a devastating fall for fear that she would be "traumatized," and now Price is at the center of a scandal involving a gruesome "death photo" that is being shopped of the actor for upwards of $10,000.

Early this morning, various news outlets reported that the shocking images were being offered for a "low five-figure" price tag. According to the New York Daily News, the photos show "Coleman with his eyes closed and hooked up to a ventilation machine. In another picture, the actor was photographed after he was taken off life support."

Now TMZ is reporting that Price asked to have the photos taken by the same production company that interviewed her just hours after Coleman's death, and she's set to receive a percentage of the profit.

Meanwhile, RadarOnline is reporting that Price is asking $50,000 for a second interview, offering to give a video tour of the house where Coleman fell for an additional fee, and shopping footage from another interview that Gary conducted shortly before his death.
