Branchville Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Is the family expected to clean the scene?
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.
Do I need to be there during cleanup?
No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
What does homicide cleaning include?
It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked carpet, padding and drywall, disinfection, handling of debris and residue, and odor removal. Crews also sort personal property and document the work.
Can homicide cleaners work in a rental or apartment?
Yes. Landlords and property managers often get cleanup done to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Crews contain the work so other units are not affected. Lease terms decide who pays.
