The two-hour premiere airs Thursday, July 10 at 9 p.m. on A&EThe search for answers surrounding Gary Coleman's 2010 death is continuing.
The new A&E series, Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, will put the late actor's ex-wife, Shannon Price, in the hot seat. The two-hour premiere, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Harry, is set to air on July 10, more than 15 years after Coleman died inside the Utah home that he and Price shared.
'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 logline reads. '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.'
The Diff'rent Strokes star and Price got married in August 2007, but divorced the following year, although they continued living together. In May 2010, Coleman suffered an intracranial hemorrhage after falling in his kitchen, and two days after being placed in a medically-induced coma, Price removed him from life support.
Many people have expressed concerns about her decision in the years since, including his former partner Anna Gray, who claimed in a Peacock documentary that Coleman 'had an advanced healthcare directive where he stated he wanted at least two weeks of care before any plugs were pulled."
Price also participated in the special, which aired in February and was titled GARY. She stated that she was in bed when she asked Coleman, who was born with a congenial kidney defect, to make her food after he got home from dialysis.
After hearing a 'big loud boom,' she explained that she found Coleman, who was 42 years old at the time, in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. In a recording of her 911 call reporting the incident, Price could be heard refusing to listen to the operator's instructions to help her former husband.
Price has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, saying in the documentary that she 'would never hurt my husband, ever.'
In an interview later that month, Inside Edition Chief Correspondent Jim Moret asked Price why she didn't 'try to help Gary after he fell.'
'You know, I did help him,' Price replied. 'I actually had to run around looking for a towel because we didn't have any in the downstairs bathroom.'
'What people have to understand and realize is this is the first real traumatic situation I ever had to witness,' she added.
In 2010, Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard told PEOPLE that 'there was absolutely nothing suspicious about [Coleman's] death' and 'there was 'no [criminal] investigation going on.' Coleman's death certificate also listed his manner of death as an 'accident.'
