After much speculation about her involvement in her late husband, Gary Coleman’s, death, Shannon Price decided to prove her innocence by taking a lie detector test.
Coleman died 15 years ago after falling and hitting his head in their joint home.
On A&E’s series “Lie Detector: Truth or Deception,” she was asked about her reasons for agreeing to the test.
“I literally, my whole life, have had the odds working against me. I’m really hoping, for a good outcome. Not everyone is perfect at taking a polygraph test, but I have a glimmer of hope that this will work out in my favor, and people will be like, ‘Okay, you know what? She’s just a normal girl that had an unfortunate situation happen,”” she said.

George Olivo, the test administrator, asked her three questions:
“Did you ever strike Gary during your relationship? Did you intentionally decide to withhold help to Gary when he fell? Did you physically cause Gary to fall that day?”
Price answered “no” to all three of the questions, but shortly after, Olivo informed her that her answers to the first two questions were “inconclusive.”
“You failed the exam regarding Gary’s fall,” he said.
“There’s two things I know for sure, Shannon. One, you were not completely honest with me yesterday during this polygraph section. And two, the other thing I know that’s 100 percent certain, is that there is more to this story that hasn’t been told. “The body never lies. The body always tells the truth. And your body on that lie detector test spoke loud and clear, there’s something that caused you to fail this test.”
