Clearing up a murder scene...

[Neil]

Hadn't really thought of this before... But if a loved one is murdered, you may have to end up cleaning up the scene...

But in the case of Mr Mosey, his insurer declined, saying he had not taken out buildings and contents insurance. The firm could not be convinced otherwise, even when two of its loss adjusters vomited after viewing the kitchen.

Seems like I remember someone around here just recently making a post about having to clean up their brother's house because his girlfriend stabbed him a few times. It wasn't murder, though...

But yeah....that's kind of messed up to make the family do it. Then again, there are cleaning businesses that can be hired for just such a thing.

Aye I've seen such groups on TV, be it on Life of Grime or this show with Ashley Hames doing 'real blokes work', he ended up clearing up bathrooms where suicides had happened and so on, grim stuff indeed.

All this insurance malarky and so on, yeah yeah fine you could say, but there's also just normal human compassion. Such things should be left to professionals who are completely removed from the event itself.

Great show...

Remember his reaction to the blood on the phone? Where's she'd slashed her wrists and then obviously had second thoughts and phoned for help... But she died anyway... The blood on the phone was her last struggle to stay alive...

The worst thing in that program was the 'professionals' opinion/reaction to it all... How cold can you get...

Indeed it was a great show and at times very funny...although obviously not that episode. Indeed, the professional's reaction was too withdrawn from it all. All he saw was dollar signs and made jokes - but way more than just jokes to keep your guard up, he just came across as crass and tasteless with no pity or remorse or consideration for human tragedy - the phone thing, yeah that was messed up.

But the show itself was rather good and quite enjoyable. I hope they do another series.

Yes you do have to clean up the murder scene
all they do is remove the body

you have to clean up all the blood and whatever

i remember when someone put a shotgun in thier mouth
and blew thier head all over the wall
they just ame in and took the body and told us
"we dont clean up , we only remove"

you know when you are vacuuming up something with a metal
canister vacuum with a metal tube with attachments on it
and you suck up sand or tiny pebbles? thats the same sound
that skull fragments make when they go into a vacuum
