Coroner’s Official Says Lindsay Lohan Never Rolled ‘a Body Bag for Whitney Houston’
Published at
ABC News(LOS ANGELES) — Lindsay Lohan recently did an interview with the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph to promote her debut in a London production of the play Speed-the-Plow next week. During the interview the actress made a reference to Whitney Houston while discussing her work at a morgue in Los Angeles a few years ago.
Lohan reflected on how her sentence for drunk driving and violation of her probation included jail time and 12-hour shifts in a morgue for four months. Lohan described the punishment as “F’d up and inappropriate — because a lot of other people were meant to do it, and they were like: ‘No, they can’t handle it. Lohan can.’” She added, “It’s different for me than it would be for other people — like, no one would really have to work at the morgue in L.A. and roll a body bag for Whitney Houston.”
Lohan claimed she made the best of the situation. She explained, “I know it sounds really dark and strange, but I thought it would be a lot worse. I kind of regulated a lot of it. I’d tell people: ‘You didn’t fold that sheet properly,’ because I’m OCD with folding.”
Lohan’s comments have been disputed by an official for the coroner’s office, who tells TMZ that Houston was never in a body bag and no one in the probation program ever came in contact with the singer’s body. The official added that Houston was wrapped in plastic with a sheet cover the entire time she was at the morgue.
Houston died on Feb. 11, 2012.
