Audio After The Jump
Most people would do whatever it took to help their wife or husband if they were hurt badly. Drive them to the emergency room, bandage a wound, at the very least stay by their side until an ambulance got there.
Gary Coleman's wife, Shannon Price does none of those things after she discovers him bleeding profusely from a head wound suffered in a reported fall.
She does at least call 911.
"There's blood everywhere, I don't know what happened...I just heard this bang and I went down there and there's blood all over the floor," she tells the 911 operator.
Price explains that she can't stay down there with him because the stress may cause her to have a seizure, even though realizes her husband is badly hurt, "send someone quick because I don't know if he's gonna be alive."
She does eventually go downstairs after some prodding from the operator but doesn't stay long.
"I just can't be here with the blood, I can't do it, I have my dog," she says.
The rest of the call plays out this way with Shannon giving various reasons why she can't help more or drive Gary to the hospital.
She's asked by the 911 operator if she can tell Gary to put pressure on the back of his head.
"No I can't, it's all bloody and I'm not trying to do.....he's not with it."
*****UPDATE****
What makes this all more disturbing and possibly sinister is the fact that the two were reportedly legally divorced at the time Shannon made the decision to pull Gary's life support.
Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Gary filed and was granted a divorce from Shannon in 2008. When ET contacted the hospital with this information they were told:
"We had no indication that the information Shannon gave us was false. She portrayed herself as his wife."
Ok, the police need to seriously be looking into this now..
