West Kittanning Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
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.
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.
Will the neighbors know what happened?
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
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.
Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
