Former Michael Jackson impersonator and “best friend” to Gary Coleman is actor Dion Mial, who was recently discovered to be the sole and rightful executor of Coleman’s last will and testament — NOT his ex-wife Shannon Price. The discovery of Mial prompted a delay in Coleman’s burial plans made by Price, giving Mial total control over all future details and plans.
Mial and Coleman first met when Coleman became estranged from his adoptive parents after winning a lawsuit that they squandered millions of his dollars earned from his childhood appearances on “Diff’rent Strokes.” Mial and his mother instantly took control of Coleman’s career at that time and became his managers. Mial also flew off to Hawaii with Coleman for a vacation that prompted rumors of their relationship being more than just platonic. For years, Mial and Coleman were inseparable, until Mial mysteriously seemed to vanish from Coleman’s public life. Now, Mial has resurfaced as the legal executor and controller of Coleman’s estate, reportedly with strict orders from Coleman himself that he be cremated. Coleman also had one last wish that anyone who ever had financial ties to him during his life, or those who may not have genuinely loved or cared for him, should be BANNED from any funeral services. Naturally, this would mean Coleman’s adoptive parents would be excluded. But in light of news yesterday that Shannon Price has been asking Coleman’s fans to send her money along with their condolences, and that she took photos of Coleman while he lay comatose in a hospital for later sale to the tabloids, she too may soon find herself on the outside looking in.
The Gary Coleman saga is quickly turning into a hot mess — but there’s more: If by now you’re wondering exactly who Dion Mial is, take a look at him and Coleman in a television appearance from many years ago, performing a rap song from an act they were promoting at the time entitled “The Indian and The Outlaw.” Trust us on this one — it’s a MUST SEE!
