SALT LAKE CITY — The estranged parents of the late former child TV star Gary Coleman are seeking custody of his body and want it returned to his boyhood home in Illinois, his former manager said Thursday. Coleman died last week in Utah from a brain hemorrhage at age 42.
Former manager and family spokesman Victor Perillo said Coleman’s parents, Sue and Willie Coleman, are the legal custodians of his body because Coleman was divorced from his wife, Shannon Price, in 2008. It was Price who ordered that Gary Coleman be taken off of life support. Perillo said that his parents have discussed having a small, private ceremony and that his body could be returned to Illinois as soon as today. The Associated Press
