Common Questions About Suicide Clean Up in La Center, WA
What does suicide survivor mean?
A suicide survivor is someone who has lost a person to suicide, sometimes called a loss survivor. It can also mean a person who survived an attempt. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 any time to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
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.
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.
Where can I find support after a loss to suicide?
The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers calls and texts at 988, 24/7. Funeral homes, faith communities, doctors and counselors can also help you find grief support. A cleanup team cleans the room, but it is not a replacement for people who can help you heal.
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.
What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
