Well looks like Gary Coleman was already divorced, the wife (or should I say ex)had no authority to pull the plug it would seem.

Gary Coleman Divorced from Shannon Price

TMZ has learned Gary Coleman divorced Shannon Price nearly two years ago ... raising issues about her authority to make final medical decisions on Gary's behalf.

Gary's divorce lawyer, Randy Kester, tells TMZ the couple divorced on August 12, 2008, and as far as he knows they never remarried.

Kester does not know if Price had a power of attorney to make medical decisions.

A hospital official tells TMZ they have "become aware he may not have been married to her." But the official said she was portraying herself as Gary's wife and they didn't require further proof.

The official did not say if Shannon had a power of attorney.

BUMP BUMP BAAAA!!!!

Wow...what a mess.

Well, I hope when it comes my time, someone pull the plug fast. I've seen when people are kept alive a loonnnngggg time because of...oh who the heck knows why, but it was pretty darn selfish, and expensive.
I've always said, pull the plug and put it in my hand...hopefully they'll think I had a moment of clarity upon wakeng up and did it formyself. Don't forget the gloves.

Another one where they jumped the gun and printing before they knew the whole story..........His ex was in the house at the time he fell and the one that actually called 911.....As well as was named on his living will to have the Power of Attorney to make that decision in case it ever arose........ Seems even after 2 years of being divorced they were still good friends as well.........love how they jump to conclusions without all the facts............
