Gary Coleman's friends are still haunted by his death after explaining there are 'more questions than answers'.

Coleman, who was 42 when he died, passed away in 2010 after a fall at home, in which he suffered a bleed on his brain.

The actor was rushed to hospital, but died after he was later taken off life support.

Some 14 years on from his death and those close to the actor have spoken about the tragic accident in a new Peacock documentary, titled GARY. You can watch the trailer below:

The bombshell documentary sees claims made by Coleman's friends regarding his ex-wife, Shannon Price.

Speaking of their relationship, one friend, Anna Gray, said: “I was really hoping that it would be another person in his life that would lift him up and bring him joy, and that’s not what happened at the end."

The couple married in 2007, before divorcing in 2008 and getting back together shortly afterwards, with Coleman’s lawyer Randy Kester claiming in the documentary that he and Coleman discussed the actor getting a restraining order against Price a number of times.

“They both laid their hands on each other. Neither one of them was the innocent party," claimed another friend, Brandi Buys.

On the day of Coleman's accident, Price says she heard a loud noise coming from downstairs.

She says she found the actor laying on the floor covered in blood.

But some of Coleman's friends have specific issues over the 911 call that Price made.

In a clip played in the documentary, Price can be heard saying: “I just can’t be here with the blood. I just been kinda sick, and you know like, I don’t want to be traumatized right now.”

Buys said she was 'appalled' after listening, adding: “If you care about somebody, you don’t care about that."

Another of Coleman's friends, Dion Mial, said there were 'too many questions with no answers' surrounding his death.

“He was four feet, eight inches tall. He didn’t have that far to fall in order to create such a significant injury. It just begs question after question after question," said Mial.

Price, meanwhile, has emphasised that she 'didn't touch' Coleman, adding: “I didn’t touch him, I didn’t hurt him. I was nowhere near him. Nothing happened.”

“There were enough doctors and medical staff that told me... he just wasn’t gonna get better.

“People think that I did this. Because I’m the ex-wife, I’m the evil person, right?”

Coleman shot to fame on sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes, which aired from 1978 to 1986.

The 90-minute documentary is available to watch on Peacock now.
