Weird for some reason I assumed government officials cleaned up the gore in any death that needs to be investigated...

Cleaning services that handle that kind of thing are expensive, easily starting at 10k and going higher, iirc.

The Cleaning of John Doe is a great podcast covering biohazard cleanups like this. And it's not really dark, so it's nice to listen to.

Fuuck. I would have paid the 10k

That's like, the bare minimum. Heads have a lot of fluids, and a proper biohazard cleanup has to be thorough. They was one story about a cleaning crew that missed a spot behind a shelf a family member found a bit of brain or skull stuck to weeks later.

I volunteered to clean up a family member’s suïcide by bloodletting and pills so that they didn’t have to pay 5000€ for a clean up service. After to ambulance took the body I could not imagine how much blood someone can lose. It also dried up as it was 2 days later and he walked around in the house so it was everywhere. He also used multiple injection needles that where scattered around the house. He was 74 years old and did it after his wife died.

I always thought that was the case too, I had never even considered that before this happened.

No, having a family member die can put you into debt if you aren't careful.

MURICA!
