It has been a year since actor Gary Coleman passed away, and his body still hasn’t been given a proper burial.

According to Coleman’s manager Vic Perillo the burial money is tied up between Coleman’s parents and widow.

Perillo’s statement reads: “This was not the proper and dignified manner to show respect for the magnificent talent the world TV and film audience knew in Gary Coleman. This was not the send off he deserved.”

“Unfortunately we learn of the great works and noble deeds of a person upon their death and at their memorial. Gary’s deeds and contributions to the entertainment industry and other endeavors were overshadowed by the desire of the media to stay focused on the misfortunes of his life and all the negatives.
