What Happens After an Unattended Death?

After the appropriate authorities complete their work and release the property, the owner or responsible party may need to arrange cleanup of decomposition-related biological contamination.

What to know

Decomposition can affect flooring, furnishings, contents and structural materials. Limiting access to the area until it is assessed can help reduce unnecessary contact.

When to consider professional help

Professional cleanup may be appropriate when contamination is substantial, involves an unattended death or traumatic event, reaches porous materials, or cannot be safely assessed by the property owner.
