In a panicked 911 call, Gary Coleman's wife describes the scene after the former child star apparently fell and split the back of his head open, spilling blood "everywhere" and causing her to fear for his life."He just got home. I heard this big bang and I went downstairs. There's blood everywhere," Coleman's wife, Shannon Price, told emergency dispatchers on May 26. "I don't know what happened. He fell and I don't know. There was blood all over and I can't do anything.
"I don't want him to die. I'm freaking out," she said.

Price said Coleman was initially unconscious and "bubbling" at the mouth.
During the more than five minute conversation with dispatchers, Price said Coleman regained consciousness, sat up and tried to stand, despite her protestations.
"He's sitting up now, but his head's all bloody in the back... I looked at the back of his head and saw [it] all bloody and gross" she said.
"Gary, don't move. Stay there, OK? You have to keep pressure on your head," she said at one point arguing with the former star of "Diff'rent Strokes." Coleman's groaned words are not clear in the call.
Coleman, 42, was rushed to a hospital and placed on life support but passed away two days later, on May 28, at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center from an intracranial hemorrhage.
