Lindsay Lohan claims she had to 'roll a body bag for Whitney Houston'
By RYAN GORMAN
Lindsay Lohan claims she "handled" Whitney Houston's dead body, but morgue officials say she's telling a tale.
The troubled actress told The Telegraph (UK) that she came across the singer's corpse while working for the Los Angeles County morgue while on probation. Authorities took little time to discount the claim.
The "Mean Girls" actress was sent to the morgue for 12-hour shifts after she violated parole in 2012 following a drunk driving conviction.
Lohan, 28, worked from 4:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in addition to a short stint behind bars.
It was "f****d up and inappropriate," Lohan griped to the paper. "Because a lot of other people were meant to do it, and they were like: 'No, they can't handle it. Lohan can.'"
It was during her time with the coroner that Houston died at the Beverly Hills Hotel of a cocaine overdose.
"It's different for me than it would be for other people – like, no one would really have to work at the morgue in LA and roll a body bag for Whitney Houston," Lohan shockingly claimed.
She made the disturbing assertion during an interview promoting her starring role in the play West End.
A morgue officials shot down Lohan's story in comments to TMZ.
Explaining that no one in any court-ordered program came into contact with Houston's remains, the spokesperson also recalled that the singer's body was wrapped in plastic "with a sheet cover" while in the facility.
