Listen to what Shannon tells the dispatcher about why she didn't drive Gary to the hospital.

In an interview obtained by TMZ, Price said that her husband couldn't be saved after suffering a brain hemorrhage last week. "The doctors told us that even if they had done surgery on him, he would've died," Price said. "He would've bled to death during the surgery. Even if they did take a chunk out of his brain, he would not be the same. He'd basically be like Muhammad Ali ... I mean, Gary was gone."

Price adds that she doesn't think she pulled the plug too early. "I don't want people to be so hard on me thinking I had to pull the plug too early. He wouldn't have made it anyway. His heart would've just given out. I don't want people to sit there and think I'm a bitch, and that I didn't care about him."

Funeral plans are still pending for the late actor.
