The Mess Left Behind

This episode is about the mess. About what the family experiences in the aftermath of however their family member leaves this world. It can be messy, it can leave an odor, debt, stress, and more than just grief. More specifically though, the physical mess. When I first started working in the Medical Examiner’s office I learned that the general public thought that my office and/or crime scene cleans up when they leave. And we try. But aside from taking the body, evidence and any body parts that may have spattered about, what’s left behind is not for us. Here I revisit some messy crime scenes, discuss biohazard clean up, and how it can be covered by insurance. Listen to what the aftermath actually looks like. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/emily-speed5/support
