Lindsay Lohan will soon be among the dead.

The 21-year-old actress is slated to report to a morgue for two days as part of a court-ordered program to show DUI offenders the real-life consequences of drinking and driving, her attorney said.

Lohan will also spend two days working in a hospital emergency room as part of the program.

At a progress-report hearing Thursday, Lohan's attorney Blair Berk told the judge the actress was on her way to fulfilling the terms of her plea bargain stemming from two DUI arrests, stating that Lohan had already spent two months in rehab and performed some community service, including work for the Red Cross.

The Mean Girls star also served 84 minutes in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, in November.

Lohan was not present at Thursday's hearing.

Following her dual booze-fueled driving arrests in May and July, the actress pleaded no contest to being under the influence of cocaine, driving with a blood alcohol level of over 0.08 percent and reckless driving.

She was sentenced to 36 months of probation, 24 hours in jail, an 18-month alcohol education program and 10 days of community service.

Lohan's next progress report hearing is scheduled for July 15. She is not required to attend.

Meanwhile, Lohan recently caught a break with regard to another legal matter on her docket.

An appellate court ruled last week that her pending deposition about an October 2005 car crash would not be caught on tape—at least for now.

A three-justice panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal ordered Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern to show why he should not reverse his decision to allow her testimony to be videotaped and set a ...hearing for Mar. 26.

Lohan's attorneys had argued there was a strong potential for the videotaped deposition to fall into the wrong hands, pointing out that the footage of the actress could be worth thousands to certain unscrupulous types.

The deposition was slated to take place on Dec. 3 but has been placed on hold until the videotaping issue is sorted out.
