According to a report published by Forbes Magazine last week, sources at the Whigham Funeral Home in New Jersey know for a fact that a man named Raffles van Exel is the person who sold the heart wrenching photo of the late R&B icon Whitney Houston's body lying in her golden coffin.
But who the hell is this guy?Forbes says that Raffles van Exel, who also uses the aliases Raffles Benson and Raffles Dawson, is a so called "lose friend"of Whitney' who attended not just one, but TWO private viewings for the singer held at the Whigham Funeral Home in New Jersey.
The first viewing was held on Friday, February 17th, the night before the memorial service, and the second was held Sunday morning before the burial.Staff at the funeral home — who have vehemently denied having any involvement with the photo leaking throughout this entire ordeal — say they noticed van Exel right away.
Though he' not a blood relative of the Houston', his apparent close association with Whitney Houston allowed him to travel with the family on a private jet from Los Angeles to New Jersey prior to the services.
Van Exel was also literally the ONLY non-family member who attended both viewings, and he also accompanied Patricia Houston — Whitney's former sister-in-law and manager — in her car to those, as well as the the funeral and burial services. One source says van Exel even had his own bodyguard with him, which was a bit unusual.
