Police officer Purnished - "Damn, she's still looking good" - By Police, At The Scene Of Whitney Houston's Death

 A police officer who was called to the hotel where Whitney Houston died lifted the sheet covering her body and said "Damn, she's still looking good, huh?", according to legal documents.

Sergeant Brian Weir said he told his superiors about his colleague's alleged inappropriate remark shortly after the death at The Beverly Hilton on February 11 last year, but it was him who was stripped of various privileges.
In the complaint, that was filed in Los Angeles on September 11 and published in the Los Angeles Times, Sgt Weir said Beverly Hills Detective Sergeant Terry Nutall had "no legitimate" reason for the action or remarks.

"Nutall, for no legitimate (reason) knelt beside and leaned over the decedent (and) removed the sheet and/or other covering from the body of the decedent to an area below the pubic region of the decedent's body," it said.

Tributes at Whitney Houston's grave

He then "came in close proximity to touching the body ... while making inappropriate comments to the effect ... that the decedent 'looked attractive for a woman of her age and current state' and 'Damn, she's still looking good, huh?'
"Nutall ... treated the dead body of the decedent in a way that Nutall knew would outrage ordinary family sensibilities."
Sgt Weir said he was removed from duty with Swat and K-9 units after his original complaint, that overtime pay was cut and he was subjected to harassment.

The complainant "has sustained and will continue to sustain economic and non-economic damages. including emotional distress and damage to claimant's reputation, and other injury, damage, loss, or harm," the lawsuit alleged.

The hearse carrying Whitney Houston's body

However, Beverly Hills Police spokesman Lincoln Hoshino said there had been no "retaliation" against Sgt Weir over the claims.
He added 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."
A post mortem into the death of the 48-year-old singing legend found she died of accidental drowning, with cocaine and heart disease listed as contributing factors, on the eve of last year's Grammys show.
