A lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County accusing a Beverly Hills SWAT sergeant who responded to the Whitney Houston death crime scene made “inappropriate comments” about her corpse. The comments were allegedly made as the sergeant kneeled over her dead body in the hotel room of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Sgt. Brian Weir filed the lawsuit against Det. Sgt. Terry Nutall. Weir claims that on February 11, 2012, Nutall arrived at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and “for no legitimate law enforcement inquire, investigative, and other proper and legal purpose knelt beside and leaned over the decedent, removed the sheet and/or other covering from the body of the decedent to an area below the public region of the decedent’s body.”
The legal documents that Weir filed went on to accuse Nutall of coming “in close proximity to touching the body of the decedent while making inappropriate comments to the effect and substance that decedent ‘looked attractive for a woman of her age and current state’ and ‘Damn, she’s still looking good huh?’”
The Los Angeles Coroner’s office ruled the death of Whitney Houston as an accident drowning with the contributing factors of cocaine and heart disease. Immediately following the alleged incident, Sgt. Weir insists that he reported Det. Sgt. Nutall to the City of Beverly Hills and the Police Department.
Weir claims that as a result of his report he has been retaliated against which is what precipitated the lawsuit that he filed. Sgt. Weir revealed in the court documents that he was removed from his position with SWAT and the K-9 units of the Beverly Hills Police Department because of reporting Nutall.
Weir also alleges that the retaliation against him included the fact that he was denied promotion to other positions, removed from employment supervisory duties and responsibilities, denied special pay, loss of overtime compensation, denied training, harassed and ostracized.
