McSwain 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 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 a business or vehicle be cleaned after a homicide?
Yes. Crews clean offices, shops and vehicles. For a vehicle, law enforcement usually processes it first, so confirm it has been released. Businesses can often plan work around staff and customers.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
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.
Does homeowners insurance cover homicide cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts and ask what applies.
