Cop made ‘lewd’ remarks over Houston’s body

A policeman lifted a sheet covering the just-dead body of singing legend Whitney Houston and made “inappropriate” comments including saying “Damn, she’s still looking good, huh?” another officer claims.

Beverly Hills Detective Sergeant Terry Nutall had “no legitimate” reason for the action or remarks, made at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb 11 last year, after she had been found dead in a bath, said a legal document filed by the fellow cop.

A coroner subsequently ruled that the 48-year-old singing legend died of accidental drowning, with cocaine and heart disease listed as contributing factors, on the eve of last year’s Grammys show.

In the legal claim, fellow officer Sergeant Brian Weir alleges he was stripped of various privileges when he raised the alleged misconduct with superiors.

“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.

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?’”

Afterwards, he raised the alleged misconduct with superiors, but claims the city of Beverly Hills and its police department “retaliated” by removing him from duty with SWAT and K-9 units, cutting overtime pay, withdrawing certain privileges and harassing him.

A Beverly Hills police spokesman said there was no “retaliation” against Weir over the claim, which he said the department knew about.
