Whitney Houston Family: Devastated Over National Enquirer Photo
by Hilton Hater at .The family of Whitney Houston is reacting to The National Enquirer posting a photo of that singer's corpse as you might expect: with outrage and heartbreak.
TMZ cites sources who say Whitney's mother, Cissy, is especially distraught over the tabloid actually taking this measure, but there are no plans to open any kind of investigation into the source of this photo, which the newspaper has the nerve to refer to as "beautiful."
Meanwhile, Carolyn Whigham, owner of the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, tells The Daily News that neither she nor her staff had anything to do with the image or its leak.
"We did not take that photo. We did not sell the photo. We would never do something like that," she said to the newspaper. "Whitney was a friend. I’m the one who flew to Los Angeles and got Whitney from the coroner’s office. I did everything to protect her.”

this is ugly indeed. rip whitney.
I think all of u should give this woman a break. Anyone with a mobile phone could have easily snapped a pic of Whitney and sold it especially with a great money offer. I honestly believe that she did not do it but I also question one of her family. Who knows, maybe one of them did it especially knowing that the funeral home will be blamed for it
We did not take the photo-I guess u didnot,but you know who did.We didnt sell the photo,I bet u got a large donation.You flew to get Whitney cause it was your job and u cashed in like the theives who broke in and snapped her photos while lying in your funeral home.What, no police report for the breakin.My my Ms. Whigham what a good friend you were.
not buying the funeral director's story...I know for a fact the only time the funeral home looks like that is right before or after a viewing - hence the lighting set up and lack of family/friends being present...nice try lady in the annoying gold jacket that thought she was directing a marching band when they were carrying out the casket
Even before publishing a photo claiming that it was Ms.Houston, The National Enquirer had to know there would be a backlash of outrage. Even if Ms. Houston wore $500K worth of jewelry and gold slippers, it could easily be an enticement to grave robbers and grave diggers to interfere with her remains. The National Enquirer tabloid can't even let a deceased person rest without continuing to profit off their death. Total Madness!!
