X17 XCLUSIVE - Gary Coleman's Parents: We Are The Only Ones With Legal Power To Deal With His Remains
Posted on Tue Jun 8, 2010 09:00 AM PDT
The controversy surrounding the remains of Gary Coleman continues. X17online has just obtained the following statement from Frederick Jackman, attorney for Gary Coleman's parents:
- There seems to be a notion that Gary's mom and dad have given up their fight for
Gary's remains and his estate. This is incorrect. There was no fight. When they were made aware of the controversy in Utah, the lack of funds to care for Gary and the divorce from Shannon, they took the proper legal steps. They are, as they always have been, his family and they were the only ones that had the legal power to deal with his remains. When a will was found, assuming it was valid as it appears to be, then that also legally dealt with the issue. They have suffered in silence for years regarding the stories told about them and their relationship with their son. They would like to now be left alone to grieve in private. They are thankful for all the positive concern and love that was felt by many for their son. They are saddened by the ongoing interest in Gary's past personal struggles and wish, that now that he is gone, those could be laid to rest as well.
As for the photos of Coleman's body, they have yet to appear in a publication, but are expected to hit newsstands soon. X17online brought you the exclusive statement from Coleman's attorney, Randy Kester, who said the thought of those pictures "turns my stomach."
No official funeral date for Gary Coleman has been announced, but sources tell us that his body is expected to be cremated by the end of the week.
Who do you think should have control over the remains?
