Answers About Cleanup After a Suicide in Southmoreland, Kansas City, MO

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.

Can I clean up after a suicide myself?

It is not recommended. Fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and soaked materials hold odor deep below the surface. Cleanup is also emotionally hard. A professional team protects your health and spares you from seeing the room.

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.

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.

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.

Can a home be sold or rented after a suicide?

Yes, once it has been cleaned and any repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.
