Lindsay Lohan Sentenced To Work At Morgue

Lindsay Lohan may have liked to party hard enough to wake the dead. But her new gig won't allow her to. The 21-year-old actress's new role is one she never wanted: an employee in a morgue.

The star, who has been plagued by drug and alcohol problems at a young age, is being forced to work with the dead as part of her sentence for drunken driving. Lohan has already spent two months in rehab in an effort to turn her life around and her lawyer claims this latest task will be part of her ongoing community service.

She'll spend two four-hour days at a California morgue and follow that up among the land of the living, with another eight hours toiling at a local hospital ER.

Lohan has only spent 84 minutes in jail for all her sins, but the judge in her case has decided to make her a high profile example of what happens to those who drink and drive. She was arrested twice last year on charges of being under the influence behind the wheel and pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanour drunk driving and cocaine possession charges.

It's not yet clear what her duties at the morgue might be or when she'll begin working at her grim new task.
