Suicide Cleanup FAQ for Zephyrhills South, FL: Who Cleans, Who Pays

Does a cleanup team replace grief counseling?

No. A cleanup team cleans the room and takes care of the physical aftermath. Grief is a separate and important matter. Counselors, faith leaders and support groups can help, and 988 is open to anyone in distress at any hour.

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.

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.

Who pays if the person was a tenant?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.

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.
