Coleman wife 'had no right to pull plug'

Gary Coleman's lawyer Randy Keester has said that the late star's wife Shannon Price did not have the right to remove his life support as the two were no longer legally married.

The couple, who appeared on Divorce Court in 2008, divorced in August of that year citing irreconcilable differences, reports E Online. Price was still living with Coleman on the night of his fall, however the separation casts doubt on her legal right to make decisions about the actor.

"Some people in the public [eye] are raising issues whether she had authority to do that and if she has authority to be making funeral arrangements, and exactly where she fits into his estate," Keester said.

"I think there's going to be some developing controversy about some issues of authority."

Price, whose 911 call reporting Coleman's fall was released today, is also facing criticism for taking so long to get to her partner's side.

"I just can't be here with the blood. I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't... There's blood all over and I can't do anything," she told the emergency dispatcher.

"I'm gagging, I got blood on myself, I can't deal."

Coleman died May 28 at the age of 42.
