Gary Coleman’s former agent says he was “appalled” to hear that photos were snapped as the actor lay dying, and then shopped around to the media. “While Gary Coleman’s family continues to privately grieve the passing of their son, they would like to thank all of his fans for their generous support,” Victor Perillo said in a statement yesterday. “This kind, gentle soul left the world with many beautiful memories to cherish. That is why I am personally appalled to hear the news that individuals are selling photos of Gary in the hospital. This is unconscionable and despicable. I would like to praise all the reputable news organizations that declined the offers. I hope others will do the same out of respect and human decency.” Coleman died last week after a brain hemorrhage. He was 42. Several media outlets said they were approached about buying photos taken of Coleman’s last moments alive at a Utah hospital, but declined.
