SANTAQUIN -- The parents of Gary Coleman says they're still waiting for answers about his death. Willie and Sue Coleman tell People.com that Gary's wife, Shannon Price, will not return their calls.

They say they are not "pointing fingers at anyone" and are not angry, but want to know exactly what happened so they can have closure over their son's death.

Coleman, 42, died May 28 at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center after suffering a brain hemorrhage two days earlier. A hospital spokeswoman said an accident at his home sent Coleman to the hospital. He slipped into unconsciousness the next day and was placed on life support.

Coleman experienced health problems earlier in life, including kidney disease, and had two seizures earlier this year.

Police say they are not investigating Coleman's death because it is not suspicious.

Coleman was the child star of the smash 1970s TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes." He moved to Utah in fall 2005.
