Whitney Houston, seen here two days before her death, was found lifeless in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012. Ex-SWAT officer Brian Weir alleges that a police sergeant lifted the sheet covering Houston's naked body and make 'inappropriate' comments.

A Beverly Hills police sergeant snuck a peek at Whitney Houston's naked dead body and made "inappropriate" comments about the pop icon after she was pulled lifeless from a hotel bathtub last year, a claim filed by a former Beverly Hills SWAT supervisor states.

"Damn, she's still looking good, huh?" the sergeant allegedly said after lifting a sheet covering Houston's corpse.

The sergeant knelt beside Houston to remove the sheet "to an area below the pubic region," and also said she "looked attractive for a woman of her age and current state," the legal claim filed by ex-SWAT officer Brian Weir and obtained by the Los Angeles Times states.

Weir filed his claim for damages against the police department and the city alleging that he was retaliated against after he reported the misconduct.

A coroner's van leaves the Beverly Hilton Hotel early Feb. 12, 2012, in Beverly Hills, Calif. A final autopsy revealed that investigators found both a spoon containing white crystals and white powder caked on a mirror in the bathroom where Houston died.

He said the sergeant acted with reckless disregard for the integrity of the potential crime scene and should have known his behavior "would outrage ordinary family sensibilities."

Weir said that after he complained to his superiors, he was removed from the city's elite SWAT and K-9 units, denied promotions and training and relieved of supervisory duties.

Houston was discovered face down in a bathtub in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 11, 2012.

A Beverly Hills police vehicle arrives at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 11, 2012. Ex-SWAT officer Weir states in a claim that a police sergeant pulled the sheet covering Houston's naked body 'below the pubic region' and made tasteless comments.

The Los Angeles County coroner listed the 48-year-old singer's official cause of death as accidental drowning with heart disease and cocaine as contributing factors.

People (especially men) make inappropriate comments (especially about women) all the fucking time. Why would we really expect some sergeant to be any different? People are assholes regardless of their profession.

Disgusting dude. No respect for the dead I see.

When u see death as much as these guys do........u probably don't even think about it after a while.

Why would you expect people to have respect for the dead when they don't even have respect for the living?

It would have been shocking if he had said something appropriate or expressed empathy.

creepy. it's crass of someone to make openly disrespectful comments toward the dead, however, i'm surprised dude actually officially complained about this behavior. likely happens all the time

I read (could be a rumor) that Ray J. overheard a cop saying something derogatory about Whitney and wanted to pummel the guy but was held back.
