The body of the 42-year-old star was cremated Thursday afternoon in Sandy, Utah. “She wanted to be there,” says Shielia Erickson, a rep for Coleman’s ex-wife Shannon Price.
Shielia says they found out about the cremation 4 hours after it happened. At the very least, Shielia says they should have been notified of the time, “even if we were saying a prayer at the time…It’s sad she didn’t know.”

This appears to be a change of heart from what Erickson told RadarOnline.com on Wednesday. She told us that Shannon did NOT want to visit Gary’s body one last time, she felt she had said goodbye to the 4 foot 8 inch tall actor in his hospital bed.

It’s been three weeks since Gary passed away, and Erickson says “Shannon was hugging a picture of Gary last night.”
Shannon has been at the center of controversy. When Gary fell and hit his head, Shannon called 911 but left Gary alone, bleeding in another room, saying she couldn’t handle the blood. In the hospital she took photos of him on his deathbed. Those photos were later sold and although she denies profiting from them, there is strong evidence that she did.
Shannnon also made the decision to take Gary off life support even though he had signed a directive that he didn’t want the plug pulled.

Now she’s fighting for his estate, which could be lucrative due to residuals.

The point is that she wanted to be there to make sure it was him being cremated; she doesn't want evidence laying around, like a body supposedly cremated that wasn't.

Gary stated on a TV interview that they never had sex. So she really "loved" him, didn't she? She's a murderer and I hope she DOES get hers too and SOON! She's a horrible creep and should be arrested for murdering him!

ok, i think she's one of the skankiest of skanks but he said they would have sex when it was right. from the sound of it, neither was interested in that. can't lay that on just her.
