PHOTOS of actor Gary Coleman’s final moments have been sold to a tabloid and his ex-wife will get a cut of the profits, entertainment website TMZ reports.
TMZ said three of four photos being shopped around could hit newsstands as early as this week.
It did not identify the tabloid it said bought the pictures.
The picture that was not part of the deal showed Coleman after his death, TMZ said.
One of those that did sell showed his ex-wife, Shannon Price, standing next to a bedridden Coleman who was "riddled" with tubes, it reported.
TMZ also reported Monday that Coleman will be cremated.
Dion Mial, Coleman’s former manager and executor of his estate, said no decision had been made on where his remains would go.
Earlier Monday, ex-wife Price said on Good Morning America that she would take her own life before ever harming him and that the couple had actually been planning to renew their wedding vows until health issues intervened.
Price, who arrived for the interview in a wheelchair, also described the moments leading up to the fall that eventually resulted in Coleman’s death.
"I asked him if he could make me some food," she told the ABC show.
"He went down there (to the kitchen) and I heard this big smack. I went down there and found him in a pool of blood.
"People can say whatever they want. I know the truth," she said.
"I would never hurt my husband, ever."
Price and the former child star, who died May 26 of an intracranial hemorrhage, married in 2007 when she was 22 and he was 40.
They divorced in 2008 but she said they planned to re-marry.
"We decided that (divorce) wasn't what we wanted,” she told GMA.
“We just had a disagreement. After we filed and it went through we decided that wasn't the right choice."
Health issues delayed their vow renewals, she said, adding, "I have had a lot of health issues. I have seizures, I have anxiety. I miss my husband a lot. I can barely get around. It's been a trial."
Coleman had a lifelong history of health problems, including congenital kidney disease that resulted in two kidney transplants, and heart surgery complicated by pneumonia last fall.
"We discussed death a few times and he always said he would be very unfair if he left me and I really respect that," Price told GMA, "because I loved him and he loved me and we just can't live without each other."
