Being an executor is usually a legal matter supported by documents... so, what's the problem?

It would not take much for Mr. Coleman to find more peace in death than he had in life ... just sad from being given up as a baby, suffer chronic illness nearly his entire life, theft of his funds by parents and other handlers, betrayal by those he loved and trusted ... such a life filled with tragic life events. No one deserves this in life or death.

Unbelievable not even in death does he have any peace.

Okay, we know his ex isn't too bright. We know his parents are always on the up and up.

I say - someone else should be allowed to step in and orchestrate the funeral. All the left over players here seem to be pretty self-ish.

Let the man rest in peace.

In the United States of America you are required to follow the rule of law and the courts will have to decide who is responsible for the funerals and the debts that follow!

Wilton, I know the law - but did not bother to post that. It seems that when someone dies, the worst in people can come about. Now that this will have to go to the court - let us hope someone else will do the proper thing.

Funeral canceled? Did he wake up on the autopsy table?

Were the rumors of his death greatly exaggerated?

No rest, even for the dead...

Wow. Just, wow. I guess whoever controls Gary Coleman's remains controls whatever assets he left behind as well. We already knew his parents were vultures when Gary Coleman was alive, but now they want to pick at his remains as well. And his ex-wife doesn't come away looking clean in this mess either. That 911 call didn't paint her as a concerned spouse, but more like an ice queen. Why can't someone step in and give Gary Coleman the peace he deserves. The peace he never got while he was alive.

I believe the only reason his parents are interferring in his funeral is control of his body equates control of his assets or property, his parents are being true to themselves even after this death.
To Gary Coleman's Parents:
Gary had ended his relationship with you and no longer loved you after you took took advantage of him and mispent his money, successfully sued you, the mother, and now you're still causing him conflict and grief.
Please respect you're estranged sons's wishes and leave him alone.
The public has no kind words for you and doesn't like nor respect you.
In other words, you're not getting anything in his will, so start showing some shame and leave Gary and his family and friends alone.

Gary, rest in peace.

So right. They already embezzled his worth with his manager as he grew up. I hope his wife has a good attorney.

His parents have "lawyered" up and planning probate? Gary is spinning and he's not even in a grave yet. Todd Bridges needs to just bring out all the paper work and get this circus over and done with. The entire planet knew of Gary's wishes. He hadn't spoken to his parents in decades. That speaks volumes right there.

After someone is already gone there's nothing else you can do for them. Bringing Gary home is not going to restore anything for the Coleman's. In life they didn't honor his wishes and now in death they won't either. SMH...
