According to several reports, there are armed guards keeping watch over Whitney Houston’s grave. Allegedly there where concerns that fans might disturb the body or worse, thieves may try to steal the expensive jewelry Houston was apparently buried with. The Celebrity Cafe reports:

Armed guards are reportedly protecting the grave of the late Whitney Houston, who was buried in Newark, NJ Saturday. Her body is buried wearing jewelry in a gold-lined coffin and the guards have been put in place to stop robbers and fans.

The UK’s Daily Star first broke the story, after a source told the publication that, “There is a very genuine fear that her coffin will be targeted by grave robbers.” The source admits that 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.”

The New York Post reports that Houston is also buried wearing a purple gown, a diamond brooch, earrings and gold slippers.
