Questions Families Ask About Suicide Cleanup in Torrey Highlands, San Diego, CA
Is the odor a concern after a suicide?
It can be if the person was not found right away. Odor comes from fluids soaked into carpet, padding and subfloor, and sprays only cover it for a short time. The source must be removed and the air and structure treated.
Who is responsible for cleaning up after a suicide?
Police and the medical examiner do not clean. The property owner, the family or the estate books the cleanup, and a biohazard cleanup team does the work. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord or attorney can explain the details.
Can I clean up after a suicide myself?
It is not recommended. Fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and soaked materials hold odor deep below the surface. Cleanup is also emotionally hard. A professional team protects your health and spares you from seeing the room.
Can a landlord or employer hire a cleanup team?
Yes. Landlords, property managers and employers can hire cleanup of a unit or workplace. The team works discreetly so other tenants or coworkers are protected. Ask what documentation you get with the work.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.
Do I have to see the room?
No. Many families never enter the room. The cleanup team can work while you stay elsewhere, and you can ask a friend, landlord or representative to meet the crew for access. Photos and records can be shared if you want them.
