Gary Coleman's ex-wife has reportedly sold a series of photos she took while he was dying in hospital to a tabloid magazine.
Gossip website TMZ.com claims Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price hired a production company to take the photos, which showed the former child star lying bloodied on a hospital bed with tubes sticking out of his body.
One of the photos showed Coleman after he had been taken off life support, the website reported.
Price reportedly offered the photos to a variety of tabloid magazines, asking for a price thought to be in the low five figures.
A magazine has now apparently bought the set of photos, and is planning to publish all of them except for the one showing Coleman dead.
One of the other photos reportedly shows Price posing next to Coleman, who is hooked up to a ventilation machine.
Price, a 22-year-old actress, is expected to share the profits with the production company.
