Gary Coleman's wife must read GlP she says " I didn't push Gary"

Gary Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price is defending her decision to pull the plug on life support because she says she didn't want Gary to be like Muhammad Ali or Terri Schiavo. The comment is so offensive and wrong, it raises questions ... whether her decision to terminate Gary's life was appropriate.

TMZ obtained an interview with Price ... shot the day after Gary died. Among other things, Price blurted out that she's heard speculation that she pushed Gary and that caused him to fall and ultimately hemorrhage. Price insists she didn't push Gary -- a weird statement, since no one had publicly accused her of that.



Gary fell in his Utah home May 26, hit his head on the floor and suffered an intracranial hemorrhage. Shannon, who was divorced from Gary, apparently still had authority to terminate life support at the hospital, which she did on May 28 -- he died a short time later.

Police have said there was "nothing suspicious" involving Gary's fall.

Price fondly mentions that Gary did a lot for her -- like buy her a car.
