Whitney Houston Death, Awful Cop Behaviour Alleged

  • 18 September 2013

A rather disturbing story has emerged regarding Whitney Houston, 1 year and 7 month after the singer died in a bathtub at The Beverly Hilton hotel in 2012. It is alleged that a police officer who was called to the hotel looked at her naked corpse and made inappropriate remarks.

Beverly Hills Police spokesman Lincoln Hoshino denied the "retaliation" against Sgt Weir over the claims, adding that Det Sgt Nutall had been entitled to look at the body. "The responding detective sergeant in question was working in the city of Beverly Hills on another assignment, and he did properly and appropriately respond to the scene," he told the LA Times.

"It is appropriate for a responding detective sergeant to briefly examine the body upon arriving to a scene like that. At this time we're not aware of any inappropriate behaviour or inappropriate comments."
