Last week a Dutch newspaper printed an interview from Raffles van Exel claiming he was the one responsible for clearing Whitney Houston's hotel room before investigators arrived [click here if you missed that].
While Raffles admits speaking to press in the Netherlands he denies telling them he cleared Whitney's room...
From The National Enquirer
"That's ridiculous," van Exel told The Enquirer. "I did get a call from a station (in Holland) a couple of days after Whitney died and spoke about her death in generalities. But of course I didn't say that."
However, he did admit to being in Whitney's suite before authorities arrived.
"I came into Whitney's room just before the police and paramedics did," he said.
"I don't know what drugs were there, but the place was clean when I arrived. Only after the police had gone and Whitney's body had been removed did I help her brother Gary and wife Pat pack up Whitney's clothes and other possessions. That was the only so-called 'clean-up' I was involved in, and it had nothing to do with drugs. All three of us were shock then. We were crying. We couldn't believe that our beautiful Whitney was gone."
