Gary Coleman’s estranged parents are seeking answers about the former child star’s sudden death last week, said People.com. Coleman’s parents say his 24-year-old widow has refused to take their calls. So far, authorities will only say that Coleman, 42, suffered a brain hemorrhage after an “accident” in his home. “We’re not pointing fingers at anyone, but we need to know exactly what happened,” says Coleman’s mother, Sue Coleman. The actor had little contact with his parents after he sued them in 1989, saying they stole his fortune.
