What happens after a death?

The 4 stages of decomposition

 

Decomposition is a natural process that affects all bodies after death. It involves several distinct stages:

First stage: autolysis

The first stage of decomposition is known as autolysis, which meansautodigestion .

This stage begins just after death, when blood circulation and breathing stop.

When these functions cease, the body can no longer oxygenate or eliminate waste. As a result, excess carbon dioxide builds up and creates an acidic environment.

Cell membranes rupture and release enzymes that begin to consume cells from the inside out.

Rigor mortis sets in and the top layer of skin begins to shed.

Second stage: bloating

During the second stage of decomposition, the enzymes released in the first phase produce gases.

These gases cause bloating, skin discoloration and unpleasant odors.

These odors are often associated with death scenes lasting several days or weeks and may persist long after the body has been removed.

Third stage: decomposition

The third stage of decomposition is active decomposition .

During this stage, muscles, skin and organs liquefy and the soft tissues of the body break down.

Hair, bones, cartilage and other by-products remain after the end of the decomposition phase.

Fourth stage: Skeletonization

Once decomposition is complete, the body turns into a skeleton, which often happens months after death.

The dangers of a decomposing body

Although decomposition is a natural process, it poses a significant health risk to people who come into contact with the decomposing body or the surrounding area.

As decomposition occurs, fluids escape from the body. These fluids may contain bloodborne pathogens and may pose an infection risk to anyone near the body.

In addition, decomposition attracts insects and results in significant release of toxic bacteria.

If you find yourself at a crime scene of a person discovered late, do not try to resolve the situation on your own. Instead, leave the area immediately and contact the police.

Once the police have finished their work, an extreme cleaning team like our professional team will arrive to provide the pest control cleaning services and complete disinfection necessary to make the area safe.

What does cleaning include after a death discovered several days later? 

Since decomposition byproducts can be very dangerous. Proper protocols for cleaning deaths discovered several days or weeks are essential to ensure a safe and disinfected space.

Here are the steps our team takes when cleaning up after a death several days old:

• Removal of all porous materials.

  Our team will first remove porous materials like wood, carpet, drywall and concrete from the affected area. Since these materials can absorb bodily fluids, it is essential to remove and dispose of them properly.

• Disinfection

  . Next, our team will perform industrial-grade disinfection protocols to eliminate all traces of bloodborne pathogens and make the area safe for those entering. Since even a small amount of untreated biological material can make a residence uninhabitable, this process is essential.

• Renovation.                                                                                                                                                Finally, we will renovate the area to its original condition, replacing flooring and other building materials as needed and providing a clean slate for you and your loved ones to sell the home or move forward as you wish. 

 

Why can't I clean the area myself? 

As previously mentioned, decomposition is a complex biological process that creates many hazardous byproducts.

Therefore, any area where decomposition has occurred must be properly cleaned by a professional disinfection team.

Although decomposition is natural, traditional household cleaning products and solutions are not sufficient to properly clean, disinfect, or sanitize any area affected by human decomposition.

Not only will the cleaning process likely be traumatic for you (especially if the deceased is a family member or loved one), but it is impossible to remove all biological matter with standard cleaning products.

On the other hand, a professional cleaning team will have the necessary tools and equipment to remove all traces of biological matter and make the space safe and sanitary.

How much does it cost to clean up after a death lasting several days? 

The cost of multi-day death cleanup services will vary depending on factors such as the condition of the body, the degree of decomposition, and the cleanup methods and services required.

Étant donné que les conséquences d’un décès de plusieurs jours peuvent être très traumatisantes pour les individus, nous pensons que le prix est la dernière chose dont vous devriez vous soucier.
