Unattended Death

(a) A deceased person must be under the care of a licensed medical or osteopathic physician for the natural disease process to which he has succumbed, otherwise, the death is a medical examiner case. Each case will vary and no hard and fast rule can be stated concerning the determination of whether a deceased was under medical care. Each case must be considered individually, but in general, the deceased should have a licensed medical or osteopathic physician assuming responsibility for their medical care within the last two weeks to thirty day antemortem.

(b)  There sometimes exists confusion concerning deaths in nursing homes. In many instances the dead person has not been seen physically by the physician in charge for a variable period. The physician has issued orders via telephone concerning the patient. Such deaths are considered "attended" since the physician assumes responsibility for the care and treatment of the individual. Whether or not he physically see the patient is a matter between the patient and/or the patient's family and himself. Such cases should not be accepted by the medical examiner for investigation unless the death was due to unnatural means.

Unattended Death Cleanup

Solo, enigmatic deaths have always alarmed us because they shine a light on human frailty. Dying is a lonely, private journey, whether we are surrounded by loved ones or alone. Death is a fact of life we all have to face and should, in a way, embrace what lies ahead for us all.

The professional staff at AA Trauma Cleaning Service  can help a grieving family by dealing quickly and effectively with an unattended death clean up. We are sensitive to a family's grief, and will completely explain the process that may be required for a particular situation.

Unattended death cleanups can be among the most difficult and stomach turning choirs. After a death, nature begins the process of decay; the process by which tissues of a dead organism break down into simpler forms of matter. The process is essential for new growth and development of living organisms because it recycles the finite matter of the ecosystem. This process begins immediately and characteristic signs of biological decomposition appear within as little as a day. The first stage is characterized by the formation of liquid materials as flesh begins to decompose. These fluids are loaded with proteins which are a food source for bacteria, insects and mold. That is why an unattended death can be so difficult to clean up. In some cases such as environments where temperature remains cool stage two has not yet set in.  So the unattended death cleanup is not as difficult.  But even in these cases you will usually find that the odor is still overwhelming and odor remediation will be needed.The process can overload both visual and olfactory (nasal) senses. Additionally, the scene can be dangerous due to the bloodborne pathogens, bacteria and mold spores. Most people understand the risks of exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis but other risks are associated with these scenes.

This is why it usually is better to contact a trauma scene cleaning service company who performs unattended death cleanup.  They have the expertise, experience and qualifications to perform this task quickly, efficiently and with the least impact on your life. 

During the unattended death clean up job we take care of the decomposed body including any and all bodily fluids that have been expelled from the body.  Many of these fluids are accompanied by a bad odor and dangerous bacteria and biohazardous waste. In addition, for significantly decomposed bodies, cleanup may include dealing with maggots and other insect which are commonly accompany severe decomposition.
