(CBS) Actress Lindsay Lohan will spend time at a Los Angeles morgue as part of her punishment for misdemeanor drunken driving.

Her court-ordered visit to a morgue is part of a program in Los Angeles County to show drivers the real-life consequences of drinking and driving.

Along the same lines, she's already spent a few hours in a hospital emergency room, according to her lawyer, Blair Berk.

Lohan was arrested twice last year on DUI charges and pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges. She served 84 minutes in jail as part of the plea deal.

What will Lohan see in the L.A. County morgue?

On The Early Show Monday, CBS News correspondent Seth Doane visited the morgue in Syracuse, N.Y., where he spoke with Dr. Mary Jumbelic, chief medical examiner of Onondaga County.

Then, co-anchor Julie Chen spoke with clinical psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere about whether the morgue visit can help Lohan in her quest to stop driving while under the influence.
