Lindsay Lohan says she was doing community service at the LA County Morgue when Whitney Houston's body came in. The troubled actress was serving a sentence for drink driving and violating probation by working 12-hour shifts in the morgue when she claims the close encounter took place, she told the London Telegraph. She says the experience was "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.’ 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. An official from the Coroner's Office refuted Lohan's account, telling TMZ Houston's body was transported in a plastic sheet from the hotel where she died. To cope with the unusual regimen, Lohan says she became a stickler for the rules." I kind of regulated a lot of it," she says. "I’d tell people: 'You didn’t fold that sheet properly’, because I’m OCD with folding.” Lohan is currently in London, rehearsing a role in David Mamet's play Speed-the-Plow, opening on the West End on September 24. The plot is described as "a dissection of soul-selling in the movie industry" and Lohan has been cast as a manipulative temp, working for a Hollywood producer.
