Lindsay Claims She Handled Houston's Body Bag- Coroner Calls Foul

Lindsay Lohan claims that she handled Whitney Houston’s body bag while performing her community service.

Lindsay was working at the L.A. County Morgue in her probation violation case a few years back when she came in contact with Whitney's body ... so she tells the Telegraph to promote her upcoming London play. She mused, "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."

 A quick check of the timeline shows that Houston passed away on February 11, 2012 and Lindsay did her time at the morgue from October 2011 through March 2012.

However, the L.A. County Morgue says Lindsay Lohan is lying when she says she had to handle Whitney Houston's body bag because Whitney was never in a body bag.

An official from the Coroner's Office tells TMZ ... Whitney was NEVER in a body bag and no one in the probation program came in contact with Whitney's body. 

Lindsay -- who was ordered by a judge to spend time at the morgue to teach her a lesson about drinking and driving -- claimed in an interview she was singled out to roll Whitney's body bag.

The autopsy of Houston was performed on August 12 and her body was gone by morning. No one from any court-ordered probation program came in contact with the body according to the Coroner's official.

The official says Whitney was wrapped in plastic with a sheet cover the entire time she was at the morgue. In fact, she was taken out in plastic -- not a body bag -- from the hotel where she died.
