Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Dodgeville, WI
Who cleans up suicide scenes?
Specialized biohazard cleanup crews do. They wear protective gear, remove affected materials, disinfect surfaces and treat odor. If you wonder how to clean up suicide scenes safely, the answer is to leave it to the crew. Relatives are advised not to clean the room themselves, because fluids can carry germs and the work is deeply upsetting.
Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?
Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can also ask the team to pause while a family member collects something.
What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?
Photos, letters, jewelry and papers are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
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.
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.
