Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
They seal off the area, wear protective gear and remove soaked flooring, drywall and furniture. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Waste is hauled as regulated medical waste, and the air is treated for odor.
It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.
Specialized homicide cleaners do. Police and investigators gather evidence and then leave. After the scene is released, the owner, family or estate can book a homicide cleanup crew to remove the hazards.
No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
Cleaners remove the hazard so your family does not have to.
