Shannon Price fails the A&E lie detector on Gary Coleman's fall
Shannon Price just failed a major lie detector test about Gary Coleman's mysterious death. The former FBI agent running the polygraph told her straight up that she was lying about causing Coleman's deadly fall. Price sat calm as the expert revealed she failed two key questions about whether she physically caused the actor to tumble down the stairs. The test results show deception when she denied pushing or causing Coleman to fall that day. Price claims the whole thing was rigged against her from the start. The polygraph expert pressed Price hard about hiding the real truth behind Coleman's fatal accident. Price married the tiny actor back in 2007 but they divorced after just one year together. They kept living in the same Utah house...
