Uncensored Photo Of Whitney Houston In Her Open Coffin! Is This Really Fair?

On the cover of the current issue of the National Enquirer is the uncensored picture of the late queen of pop, Whitney Houston in her coffin.

The photograph apparently showing Whitney in her open coffin has been published and is already raising controversy.

The very disturbing picture shows the singer lying dead in her golden casket, clad in a regal purple dress, wearing diamond brooch and earrings worth $500,000 and had gold slippers on her feet, according to the publication.

The tabloid has run the snap alongside a bold headline proclaiming: "Whitney: The last photo!"

The purported photograph was allegedly taken inside the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey, where her family attended a private wake last Friday on the eve of her funeral.

I will not agree less with Celeb DirtyLaundry that a line has been crossed. It seems highly unethical to me to publish a photo of this nature in the first place, but especially without permission from the person's family. That seems to be the consensus on Twitter, as well. But where should the line be drawn in the first place?

And seriously is there No privacy for Whitney, even in death?
