What to Do When a Suicide Happens

Unfortunately, in spite of the best efforts of many, suicide happens. This leaves surviving loved ones to navigate a confusing and difficult aftermath.
While loss is never easy, there are many professionals who have years of experience helping people in similar situations that you can rely on during this devastating time.

The police, coroner, and/or medical examiner

Responds and investigates the scene to determine if it was a suicide.
Once they have released the scene, your loved one’s remains will be removed from the location of the incident and transported to a medical facility.

A funeral director

Assists in making arrangements to transport the body and make preparations for their funeral or memorial service should you choose to have one.

Professional cleanup companies like Bio-One

Helps the property owner or the victim’s family and friends take care of any cleanup that may need to happen at the scene.

Do not try to clean up the scene yourself.

Any blood or fluids left behind after a death are a biohazard, and attempting to do the cleanup yourself can be dangerous and deeply traumatic.
Homeowners insurance will usually cover cleanup costs, which can relieve one potential burden.
