Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in George West, TX
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.
How long does suicide cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
Does a cleanup team replace grief counseling?
No. A cleanup team cleans the room and takes care of the physical aftermath. Grief is a separate and important matter. Counselors, faith leaders and support groups can help, and 988 is open to anyone in distress at any hour.
Do I have to see the room?
No. Many families never enter the room. The cleanup team can work while you stay elsewhere, and you can ask a friend, landlord or representative to meet the crew for access. Photos and records can be shared if you want them.
Where can I find support after a loss to suicide?
The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers calls and texts at 988, 24/7. Funeral homes, faith communities, doctors and counselors can also help you find grief support. A cleanup team cleans the room, but it is not a replacement for people who can help you heal.
Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pay for suicide cleanup?
The program is built for violent crimes, so it usually does not apply. It pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. Ask the Attorney General's office whether a specific case qualifies, at (800) 983-9933.
