Google - Bing - Yahoo! - Suicide Explained, in part

Cleaning after a suicide involves an inspection. The truth is that I have a good idea about what I will find. I know from experience that a description of the suicide scene will miss the big picture and callers confuse the trees for the trees. They see and smell the most obvious while missing the big picture. How could it be otherwise for a family member or friend when describing a suicide to me while on their cell phone?

I know that during my inspection my experience leads to much the caller never saw or considered. I know too that in a single story home on a slab blood migration remains limited; a second or third story apartment building creates conditions for wide-ranging, gravity migrating blood between floors. A suicide scene presents known problems that no one on the calling side can imagine. My inspection will include the possibility of multiple-floor contamination.

Because of the possible hazards I like to ozone before starting work. After a shock treatment with ozone I continue with a propriatary decontamination tool. In this way I reduce biohazards from microscopic life. Each suicide cleanup needs this pre-treatment strategy.

Next I have my bags or barrels arranged so I need not stop work to contain the biowaste. While this is going on I am thinking ahead. I must consider where I will work next. I do not want to move the same objects twice. I need to know where I can step and not track blood.

Tools

I use a wide variety of tools for my work. Not having the correct tools at the right time slows me down, and it is annoying. By thinking ahead I have a good idea about what I will need to work. Because I use a "Bloody Mary" to do most of my cutting, I leave at least two in opposite sides of the room. The Blood Mary saves time and labor, but she cuts flesh quickly, deeply, and without mercy.

Just the same having a Bloody Mary nearby leads to a faster, safer cleanup. This tool needs close attention. No one should carry a Bloody Marry around a death scene anyway. One thoughtless slip of the hand might cause loss of an eye or a cut artery.

A suicide cleanup has hazards, biohazards, and much more going on than friends and family members of the decedant could knowl
