'80s Star's Ex-Wife Taking Lie Detector Test About His Deathoriginally appeared onParade. A controversial death is being reexamined in a new A&E series. Gary Coleman(Diff'rent Strokes) died in May 2010 at the age of 42 after falling down the stairs at his home. At the time, there was some dispute as to whether his ex-wife,Shannon Price, was legally able to take him off life support because they had divorced in 2008.According to the Independent, she was cleared of any wrongdoing. But A&E thinks questions have lingered because Price will be appearing on the premiere episode of the network's new showLie Detector: Truth or Deception, which "examines individuals long suspected of serious crimes who voluntarily submit to taking a polygraph test hoping to clear their names in the eyes of their family and community," according to the press release. Hosted byTony Harris, the show will featureGeorge Olivo, a former FBI agent, as the administrator of the lie detector tests.

Coleman's ex-wife, Shannon Price, agrees to take a polygraph test to address persistent public suspicion regarding her potential involvement in his death, even though she was never charged in connection with it. The episode revisits the circumstances surrounding Coleman's passing and explores whether Price has been misjudged by public opinion — or whether the results raise new questions." Other cases the show will examine includeMatheau Moore, who was acquitted of murdering his wifeEmily Noblein 2022;Edward Ates, who went to prison for 20 years for a murder he says he did not commit; andJesse Holton, who was accused of killing his parents in 2016 but was not tried on the matter due to lack of evidence.
