Will Lohan corpse at latest duty – cleaning the morgue?

THE TROUBLED Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan was back in court yesterday for failing to perform community service at a shelter for homeless women, a punishment she had received in April for stealing a necklace from a jewellery store.
If Lohan wants to avoid jail she must now do 16 hours of community service at the Los Angeles County Morgue. If she fails to turn up for that, she will be jailed.

The 25-year-old actress was initially taken into custody following yesterday’s court appearance, but was quickly released after posting $100,000 bail and agreeing to a total of 120 hours at the morgue.

She is due back court on 2 November to prove that she can do the first 16 hours.

According to TMZ.com, "morgue duty" will involve cleaning tables of blood and body fluids after autopsies have been performed. A source in the LA Coroner's Office assured the website the actress would not be handling any corpses but she will be sweeping floors, cleaning toilets, washing windows and picking up rubbish.

Judge Sautner admonished the actress for "violation after violation" of the original community service doled out for the jewellery theft. Lohan had "blown off" nine of her appointments. On the only occasion she showed up, she "left after an hour".

If the star of Freaky Friday and Mean Girls has to return to jail, it will be her fifth visit. On previous occasions she has always been released early because of California’s prison overcrowding issue.

"If jail meant something in the state of California now, maybe I'd put her in jail," Sautner said. ·
