Questions Families Ask About Suicide Cleanup in Key West, FL
I found someone at home. What do I do first?

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.
What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?
Workers who clean up blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it deals with waste.
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.
What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
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.
