Police officer accused of uncovering Whitney Houston's dead naked body and saying 'she looks good for her age’ (that’s very inappropriate)

It’s been claimed that a police officer disturbed the scene of Whitney Houston's death by moving a sheet which covered the dead singer's naked body to comment on how good she still looked.

Mailonline reported that Beverly Hill police sergeant Terry Nutall 'knelt beside and leaned over' the singer, and removed the sheet from her body to an area below her pubic region before making inappropriate comments, it is alleged. 

The accusations are detailed in a claim filed by former Beverly Hills SWAT supervisor Brian Weir

He claims that after a sheet was placed over Ms Houston's body, Nutall arrived on the scene and with 'no legitimate law enforcement inquiry, investigative, or other proper and legal purpose' removed the sheet. 

Weir states that Nutall was nearly touching the singer’s body, and then commented that she looked attractive for her age and state, adding: 'Damn, she’s still looking good, huh?’

Weir said he reported the alleged misconduct and as a result was removed from his position as head of the SWAT team.

Beverly Hills Police Lt. Lincoln Hoshino told NBC he disputed the claim and was unaware of any lawsuit by Weir.

He said Nutall was the detective division sergeant on duty and that because he was near the scene it was correct for him to respond. He added that he was not aware of any inappropriate behaviour or comments, saying that the department stood behind the investigation 100 per cent. 

Houston was found dead on 11 February last year in a Beverly Hills hotel bath. She was 48.
