A bombshell new documentary has alleged that 'Diff'rent Strokes' child star Gary Coleman may have been murdered and suggests the heinous act was done by none other than his own wife. 

The explosive claims are featured in Peacock's Gary, which premiered August 29 and delves into the tragic life and mysterious death of the child who captivated America with his catchphrase 'What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?'

Coleman died on May 28, 2010, two days after a mysterious fall at his home led to intracranial hemorrhaging and cardiac arrest.

Coleman's death at 42 was officially ruled an accident, but close friends are now calling it foul play - and placing the blame on his now-widow, Shannon Price.

But his wife has consistently denied these claims, saying: 'I didn't touch him…nothing happened.'

But Coleman's ex Anna Gray isn't buying it: 'I think Price's actions speak volumes, and I don't have to say much more than that.' 

The bombshell documentary takes a deep dive into Price and her actions on that fateful day.

A chilling 911 call reveals Price refused to help her bleeding husband.

She then fled the scene, claiming she didn't want to be 'traumatized'.

Price didn't go to the hospital with Coleman and later pulled the plug after just two days - against Coleman's express written wishes.

On top of that, Price even sold Coleman's deathbed photo - a move one friend calls 'depraved'.

While there's no smoking gun, Gary' leaves viewers wondering if the beloved child star's death really just a tragic accident.

While police may have ruled the death an accident, close friend Darren Nord calls the incident 'suspicious'.

Long-time pal Dion Mial also said, 'We were absolutely stumped, because there were way too many questions with no answers.' 

His other friends Darren Nord and Brandi Buys, who knew Coleman in his last years of life, also said his death was suspicious.  

The documentary also delves into Coleman's troubled past, including claims his parents swiped millions from his earnings. 

Before his death, the actor was also attending his third hospitalization in one year, after suffering multiple seizures. 

The 4ft 8in star's growth was stunted by a congenital kidney defect and he had also had two kidney transplants.

Coleman played diminutive rascal Arnold Jackson and his famous line, 'What you talkin' 'bout Willis?', became a pop culture catchphrase.

But he was never able to recapture the stardom he enjoyed as a child and teenager. As an adult, he would appear on various shows, but much of his work went straight to video.

However, he was still often in the headlines - mostly for the wrong reasons.

In 2007, he was arrested after a 'heated discussion' with his wife. He was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct by Utah police.

Two years later in July 2009, he and Price were once again involved in a domestic dispute in which his wife was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.

His temper got him in trouble again in 2010, when he was arrested on domestic violence assault charges. That time, he spent a night in jail.

Coleman lost most of his fortune in a protracted legal battle with his adoptive parents, who had control of his wealth until he was 18. By the end, he was left with just $200,000.

In April 2022, actress Molly Shannon says she was sexually harassed by the late Diff'rent Strokes actor.

The 57-year-old actress aired the allegations during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, going into detail about her harrowing experience with Coleman.

Shannon said the incident occurred in 1987, after she had inked a deal with agent Mark Randall, who also represented Coleman.

She claims she went to meet Randall and Coleman for tea at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, before being invited up to check out the Diff'rent Strokes star's Presidential Suite.

Soon after, Shannon says their agent left the room - and it was at that point she claims Coleman's behavior turned predatory and 'relentless'.

Shannon said that Coleman, who played the role of Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes from 1978 to 1986, initially appeared 'very sweet', inviting her to sit on a bed in the room before he began tickling her.

'Then, he was like trying to kiss me and get on top and I was like, "No, Gary, stop,"' she told Stern.

Shannon said she eventually 'sprinted out' of the hotel room and cautioned her agent to keep a closer eye on the actor.
