Answer 1

Crime Scene clean-up.

Answer 2

Blood coagulates and congeals prior to evaporation. At most accident scenes there is no real effort made to obliterate the evidence after the investigation team has done it's work. This has to do with what is called "Concatenation of Evidence" which is that part of the "Evidenciary Procedure" which governs the way "proof" and evidence have to be linked together in an unbroken chain leading from one person to another. Domestic premises are outside to purview of the officials responsible for any inquiries having been made, hence the fact that restitution of the property is in the hands of the owners or the insurance company. Evidence cannot been destroyed at any time, either willfully or by act of mismanagement, ergo the fact that special "Forensic Hygiene" cleaning companies are contracted to sanitize the area in question.

Answer 3

in the end, the owner of the house cleans it, or someone will call in cleaning specialist, that's after forensics is finished with all the blood samples etc. that they need to gather.
On the sidewalk, if there is a firetruck there they will sometimes hose it off, or someone from the county.

Answer 4

Usually the Medical Examiner's office sends a crew to clean up the scene, once Crime Scene Investigators (if required by circumstances) finish their work.

Answer 5

There are companies who specialize in crime-scene clean up. Blood on a sidewalk is cleaned up after forensics have done their thing.

Well paid too (it'd have to be!)

Answer 6

Sometimes the actual family of the deceased has to clean it up (if they can't afford cleaners or want to do it for personal reasons). I think there are people who are specially paid to do it, though, like professional cleaning services.

Answer 7

Believe it or not there are businesses who specialise in cleaning up these things. Victims even have to take care of it themselves although the authorities let people know how to get it sorted out.

Answer 8

I remember hearing about people who did this for a living. I think it was on a TV news show. So I did a yahoo search, and this is one of the sites I found.

Morbid but interesting.

Answer 9

After the police thoroughly investigate the city cleans it up!

Answer 10

Sometimes the fire dept will wash it down with hoses. My husbands cousin killed himself in his yard in the winter and a family friend/visiting nurse and her husband cleaned it up by shoveling it and covering it with dirt.
