Shannon Price, actor Gary Coleman's wife, told a Utah emergency dispatcher that her husband was bleeding from the back of his head after collapsing at their home, according to a recorded six-minute emergency call released on Wednesday.

Price made the call on May 26, two days before the former child TV star's death caused by a brain haemorrhage and had to be removed from life support.

"I just don't want him to die," Price told the female dispatcher.

"I'm freaking out like really bad."

In the call, Price said that she wasn't sure if Coleman had a seizure or if he hit his head and fell. He was going downstairs to prepare food when she suddenly heard a "big bang".

"Send someone quick because I don't know if he's like gonna be alive cause there's a lot of blood on the floor," Price said.

Coleman is lethargic and according to Price, she "can't really help him" and that she can't drive because of her seizures.

"I don't even know what happened. ...I looked at the back of his head and it's all bloody and gross," she said.

"He's conscious but he's not, like, with it."

During the call, Price was calling out to Coleman and telling him not to move and sit down. Then the dispatcher instructed her to get a towel for Coleman and apply pressure to the back of his head.

"I'm just panicked I don't know what to do," Price said.

"When are they (emergency services) going to be here, do you know?"

Coleman was awake at the hospital that day. However, on Thursday he became unconscious and on Friday, his life support was removed with his family at his side.

The funeral services will be given this weekend in Salt Lake City, however, no exact day has been announced and it is still unclear if it will be made public or exclusive for his family and close friends.
