Armed guards have been stationed at Whitney Houston’s grave due to worries about grave robbers

More macabre than The The National Enquirer’s photo of Whitney Houston in an open casket, grave robbers could be plotting to get into Houston’s tomb.

The singer was buried in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and clothing, and her casket is gold-lined. When word spread about the wealth that has been buried with Houston, the family began to fret.

Minders have been ordered to watch over her grave at Fairview Cemetery in Newark, New Jersey. No word on how long the grave will be guarded.

A source is quoted by The Star as saying:

“There is a very genuine fear that her coffin will be targeted by grave robbers. It would be hard for them to actually dig her casket up, but that won’t stop psychotic fans or people who think it could make them money. The fact she was buried with such valuable jewellery is just an invitation to sickos.”

“It’s ironic that Whitney, who was most famous for The Bodyguard movie when she was alive, has to have bodyguards even in death,” the source continued. “Armed security men around Whitney’s final resting place have already turned away busloads of fans who have made ‘pilgrimages’ to her grave.”
