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.
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 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.
Does homeowners insurance cover suicide cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Read the policy closely or ask the insurer directly. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
Can a landlord or employer hire a cleanup team?

Where can I find support after a loss to suicide?
