With more than half the European populyion over 55 years of age and many living alone, the undiscoverd death (human decomposition) is increasingly becoming a major problem.
The rapid decay of a body in warm homes will result in odours and health risks for months after the corpse is removed unless decontamination is undertaken and the scene is left in a sanitary condition.
The World Health Organisation has stated that all blood should be considered as infectious and many diseases have been established as being trensferred in both blood & body fluid generally.
Unfortunately in today's society suicids, accidental death, violent death, undiscovered death, drug dens & void properties are a common occurrence which leave scenes that the average person is ill-equipped to deal with.
Within extreme cleaning the average person will not have the psychological ability to deal with the clean-up of the scene, which could have a long-term affect on both there physical & mental health which could manifest into Critical Incident strees syndrome (CISS).
CISS is the adverse psychological reaction to stressful incidents, & stress has a cumulative effect on the body for someone who has been involved in a incident (the clean-up) without any lasting complications, & may suddenly develop the signs & symptoms of a stress reaction.
If left untreated, CISS can cause unresolved conflicts & feelings that remain long after the clean-up, & these side affects range from headache, sexual dysfunction to terrifying dreams, severe withdrawal, apathy & even suicide.
Assumptions are that the police or emergency services when finished clean-up the scene NOT TRUE, after they have finished providing their respective services they leave the scene for the property owner to deal with.
