What to Do After an Unattended Death

The first steps after discovering an unattended death are different from the later cleanup steps.

Important: If there is an active emergency, immediate danger, or a newly discovered death that has not been reported, contact the appropriate emergency authorities first.

Contact the appropriate authorities first

If a death has just been discovered and authorities have not been notified, contact emergency services or the appropriate local authority. Do not begin cleanup while an investigation or official response is ongoing.

Wait until the property is released

After authorities release the scene, avoid unnecessary contact with areas affected by decomposition or bodily fluids.

Arrange cleanup

If the property is in Clearwater, call to discuss unattended-death and decomposition cleanup.
