Todd Bridges is speaking out after watching a polygraph special that reopens questions about Gary Coleman’s death.
The “Diff’rent Strokes” actor is now demanding answers from Coleman’s ex-wife Shannon Price, who recently failed key questions during an A&E lie detector test.
On “Lie Detector: Truth or Deception,” aired July 10th, Price was grilled on allegations that have lingered since Coleman’s sudden 2010 death at age 42. While his death was officially ruled accidental after a fall led to a fatal brain hemorrhage, those closest to him, including Bridges, have long questioned the story.
Bridges, after watching the special, asked during an interview with Access Hollywood, “What is she hiding? What really happened on that day?” He added, “I believe that Gary Coleman deserves to have it really looked into a lot more.” He also revealed that in their final conversation, Coleman expressed concern for his safety around Shannon.
During the polygraph, when asked whether she caused Coleman’s fall, Price responded “no,” but the examiner said “deception indicated.” Earlier responses about violence and withholding aid were deemed inconclusive. Price later said she wasn’t surprised by the results and insisted: “There is a reason I am not in prison. There is a legit reason for that. It’s because they did a thorough investigation.”
Despite her denials, Bridges remains convinced there’s more to the story. “If she doesn’t pass this lie detector test, I can say what I want then,” he declared. The calls for truth are only growing louder.
