Gary Coleman ex-wife's polygraph exam 'inconclusive' on his death

() Shannon Price, Gary Coleman’s ex-wife, is back in the spotlight after she took a voluntary lie detector test to continue proving her innocence 15 years after the actor’s sudden death.

According to People, Price agreed to take the exam as part of a two-hour special for A&E. Administered by George Olivo, Price’s exam was inconclusive due to the critical questions about Coleman’s fatal fall.

“Yes, it means there is something missing in the story,” Olivo told “Banfield” on Wednesday. “It doesn’t actually mean she pushed him down the stairs or she caused him to fall. What it tells me, and what I’m confident about, is that there is more to the story that has not been told.”

In 2010, Coleman suffered an intracranial hemorrhage after falling in the Utah home he and Price shared. Price said that she found Coleman in a pool of blood after the fall.

Coleman’s death was ruled accidental, and Price was never charged with any wrongdoing.

“As far as her involvement, we don’t know what happened in that house,” Olivo added. “No one knows except for her. Was her involvement direct or indirect? Was it accidental or intentional? Only she can fill in the blanks.”

Price answered “no” when asked if she had ever hit Coleman during their relationship, but the test found her statements were numerically inconclusive on the question. So what did that mean?

“Ten percent of all polygraph examinations are going to be inconclusive,” Olivo said.

“We use an objective scoring scale with standardized cut scores. So, a person has to score high enough to pass. They have to score low enough to fail. And then there’s a range of numbers in the middle. If they fall in that range, they are numerically inconclusive. And that can happen for a lot of different reasons. It could be unwillingness or inability to focus. It could be an outside issue, something else she’s even more worried about coming to light in this process.”

Police said Price, during her 911 call reporting the incident, could be heard refusing to listen to instructions from the operator to help Coleman. Olivo acknowledged she was inconclusive in that facet, as well.

“Those secondary issues, we didn’t have time to retest,” he said. “In a normal situation, we would do a second test and try and get a conclusive result.”

Coleman was placed in medically induced coma two days after the incident and was removed from life support by Price.
