A tacky and unscrupulous relative of the late Whitney Houston has reportedly sold a photograph of the beloved diva to the worst print publication on Earth aka the National Enquirer. The Enquirer then published the photo on the cover of this week's issue.

The chilling photograph shows Houston lying lying dead in her golden coffin, wearing a purple dress.

Whitney was also wearing a diamond brooch and earrings and according to the publication, the jewels were worth over $500,000.

I personally refuse to post the pic on my site out of respect for Whitney's memory and her family. However, you can view the photo on our partner site---> Straight From The A [WARNING! Do NOT click if dead bodies offend you]
