Now that Gary Coleman’s parents have withdrawn their court battle over his remains, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the Diff’rent Strokes star may be cremated.

When told the news, Erickson said, "Shannon is overjoyed that Gary's parents have agreed to back down. THAT she is happy about."
And she continued to tell Radaronline.com "Gary's wishes are being and will be fulfilled, whatever they are. His wishes are very simple, and his wishes are listed in his will, so whatever they are they will be honored according to what is in the will."

Gary's death is about as weird and sad as his life. But then, with parents like his, he hardly had a chance.

Why would he be buried in Utah anyway? He's only lived there 5 years! None of this is about Gary. It's about the Mormon fire crotch.

Utah had better stop him from being cremated. There goes the blunt force trauma evidence. Something tells me little Shannon is being protected for some reason. This screams murder. Why are they just HO HUM about it?
