After my own experience with being a hoarder and realizing WHY I was hoarding, the stories behind a hoarder are usually very sad and/or tragic. In my experience, I started hoarding after being injured in a weird, freak accident, losing my job and then my furniture and most of my personal items when I had to move 2000 miles back home with whatever I could fit of my then 5 year old son's and my stuff into a Dodge Neon. Then a few more years of betrayals and loss from family and friends, and I started hoarding useless shit around me. Every time I saw items left on a curb, I had to come back with at least one thing, deluding myself into thinking I could use it in the future. Then about 5 years into hoarding and I realized that I was trying to replace everything and everyone I had lost with the junk I surrounded myself with. So if you've ever judged or wondered why or how some people become hoarders, use some compassion...most often it's not that "they're just lazy people". A former therapist of mine during a home visit after I apologized for my room being messy said that for most people dealing with depression, their surroundings are a reflection of how they are feeling internally.
i agree, people are so judgemental of those with hoarding problems but no one chooses to hoard because they want to,, it's a response to trauma. i've never really had the issue myself but as someone who's struggled with depression since i was a kid, i really do get it. during depressive episodes i often find myself surrounded by trash and dirty dishes.
I disagree with you. Not all hoarders have trauma stories. My ex-husband is a hoarder. He jeopardized our financials, marriage, and future. I begged him to change but he thinks his stuff more important than anything. Finally, I divorced him after 10 years of marriage. Enough is enough. Some hoarders are selfish a.h.
@@supercoppy Are you sure? Not to deny that your ex is selfish, Idk him, but theres for sure something underlying his 'selfishness'. No one hoards for the fun of it, and no one ruins their shared finances and marriage, especially after 10 years just cuz. I'm sure theres something he's struggling with deep down whether he or you want to acknowledge it. Not saying this to be like "be compassionate to your ex". He's your ex for a reason, but I'm just saying, no one acts like that without some sort of underlying reason
It's episodes like this, that remind me to be a minimalist. All their stuff that meant so much during their life, didn't mean anything to anybody else and it was all thrown away anyway. How sad. Glad kitty was saved!!
No offense but I learned this when my kids grew up. All those toys, books and stuffed animals they loved and would cry over if they didn't have them as kids where basically garbage when they hit puberty. The things I spend money for know will only loose value because they are old not because they are cheap knickknacks when I got them.
@@nialccmy daughter had (has) a huge Barbie collection. Not untouched in boxes, but actually played with and it shows Barbies. She’s 19 1/2 years old now and we’re all super excited to see the Barbie movie this weekend. Not everything she played with has left memories, but not everything has turned to garbage either. Same for my son. He’s 15 and we have his Hot Wheels and Thomas the Tank Engine collections in storage, but he still loves Hot Wheels video games.
If she had not passed in the same room with them and decomposed for a few days, they could be sold or donated. It is unfortunate that we had to toss it all but it could pose health problems for the next owner
@@monasmith2910 My condolences. ❤️🩹 I’m happy that you were able to find good homes for many of her items, including Holly! She had some amazing collections and artwork.
I always feel so sad with folks who pass and no one notices for a long time. I hope there is an afterlife because I want to think that we have somewhere to go where things are better if we have had a tough time on earth.
Yeah, it's always sad when situation is like this happen. Posting things like this for us is also a Great way to remind people to check in on their loved ones and neighbors who might live alone
Blood and body fluids r terrible it goes everywhere and anywhere is wants to. Sad people die alone like this. I live alone and have two daughters who text me or phone so it helps. I am not so worried about my self dying alone but my little dog. What would he do??? He would want to go out and eat and no one to take care of him.
So, I worked at hospice facilities for many many years. There is definitely SOMETHING after death. I've had enough experiences to know that we don't know very much about death. It's not some haunted house movie. More like static that plays. 😊🙏💕
@@squizzyicetea I agree. Have also seen death to in my lifetime I think for sure there is something after death. My motto in life is someone is there when we r born for sure our moms and I think people would like someone there with them at death. Just my opinion
The care bears, starwars, vhs tapes, superhero/villains, skulls, tigers, frogs, loads of vintage toys, 80s and 90s music, horror movies... It's scary how similar me and this person are! They seemed like a cool individual with a spunky personality. As someone who collects toys (especially care bears) it's sad that so many had to get thrown out, but I understand why. Luckily I can tell you the ones that got thrown out aren't rare. There's some that are worth hundreds! It's good to see how thorough you all are when taking care of decomp. May this person rest in peace and my heart goes out to their family🖤
I will say right off the bat…this person had unique tastes. Very eclectic. Smiled at the RagedyAnn and Andy, I still have mine and they are 60 years old. Y’all do such a service for families. Unattended death is always so sad.
What a mess. So glad Holly was okay! I was terrified you were going to say you found a dead, mummified cat in the home. Poor kitty. :( What a way to see your owner... Hopefully she's doing well now with her new family ❤️
@@monasmith2910 Please accept my condolences on your loss. You mother sounds like a really interesting person! I'm glad Holly is doing well with you and that you took her in; too many people wouldn't bother. Sending hugs
So glad I saw this. I was gonna ask about Holly kitty. So happy to hear that you, (Mona) welcomed her into your home & now is (hopefully?) enjoying her 5 new brothers & sisters!! So…6 total??? Wow, you are brave!! LOL Cats really do have the best personalities & I hope little Holly is doing ok & trying not to miss her mom too much. You sound like an amazing & strong person w/ lots of love to give & Holly is lucky to have you.💕🙏🏻🐱🐈🐈⬛🐾🫶🏻
@@CrimeSceneCleaningCould have took pictures of them or cleaned them. If you are to see any converse shoes, save them and don't destroy them. I'll find a way to clean them
Sometimes it’s hard if family members live alone a distance away. You call and try to visit, but I know airfare and gas are so expensive now and recently that it’s just not feasible. Sometimes you think “no news is good news” because they’d call if things weren’t good, right? I know I can go a bit too long without getting in touch with my family who live a few states away and thankfully they have spouses or family who live with or are closer to check in on them, but if they didn’t, it’s too easy to get busy and not check in. Even if you just text or leave a voicemail, let them know you’re thinking of them and maybe get the # of a nice neighbor who can do a welfare check. I feel for this person’s family. So much life, so many interests, and that quickly it can end. Hug your loved ones.
Absolutely didn't cry with the Holly bit. Thank you for sharing! I'm sad this person passed alone...They seemed like such a fun person! I feel like I would have got along well with them.
i find that me and the deceased have a lot in common, i love horror and old technology and collecting toys like many of the things found in the house. so it just breaks my heart to see so much of her dolls tossed away, i hold my own collections so close to my heart. ☹️ but i understand that they had to because they were contaminated
Oh, this breaks my heart. Poor lady, and poor Holly. I’m glad you found her and she has a new home. It makes me sad this poor lady died, and she left behind her kitty, and what amounts to a time capsule of a home.
Watching these videos make you realize how temporary life is and not to mention, our material things are left for others to clean up or becomes trash. Makes me want to minimalize. Unfortunately I’ve had a family member in need of the services you provide and you all are doing a service that doesn’t get enough recognition being behind the scenes. Thank you for what you do! PS.-More Chance 🤭
As someone who’s a collector this one hit. This was such an incredibly unique person and you can tell by their taste. You can tell how much joy these things brought them.
Loved the classic horror posters. Again, another case of someone who probably could have interesting conversations about something I, myself, enjoy talking about.
It is halloween guys...I have witnessed Ryan telling he talks to the spirits of the places he whips up clean and i know the energy that lingers,,,,please do a ghost episode...maybe a podcast of your experiences...BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME..I think i could do this kind of work if I could leave work at work, but I know the spirits would be following me home....It is a possibility, so lets talk about it why don't we???I am all ears.....
I was extra emotional watching this one and normally I wouldn't say it hits this close to home. This person and I shared a lot of the same interests and the home was so gorgeous, I could see myself living there. It makes me so sad that no one knew for several days and I just hope this soul is at peace.
Yeah, nobody cares about your stuff like you do... especially horror type stuff, "macabre" stuff and "childlike" stuff, as seen in the video here. It's sad to think, but I highly doubt my mom or anyone outside of my husband would want my skulls and bones collection, nor my antique mortician's kit, preserved bat, preserved death's head moth, my antique post mortem photographs, etc. But I would certainly hope she'd sell them at least and not just throw them away!!!
Yeah, it's all about enjoying your stuff while you can. Had she not passed in the room with everything, most of that stuff could have been sold or donated in the family wanted to. But since they were all exposed to decomp for a few days, there is no good way to clean all the stuffed animals and things to not pose a problem for the next owner.
@@nunyabidness6045 Well, you might be surprised! All of those things sound amazing!! What an awesome collection it sounds like you have acquired !!! Just to let u know, there are other “weirdos” just like u out in the world! And I’m proud to say I am one of them!! Always enjoy your amazing collection!!
@@CrimeSceneCleaning having you comment back was actually kind of surprising. A lot of TH-cam channels do not comment back to subscribers. You know, I think I could handle crime scene clean up. I was certified to remove biohazards and bloodborne pathogens back in 2015 but I don't know how long those certifications last until they have to be renewed. The only time I get squeamish is when it's my own blood or tissue. Other than that watching these videos I don't get squeamish. I think the only thing that would really bother me is the smell maybe? Anyways you guys have a great day and stay safe out there! Remember to wear ppe! LOL
As I mentioned to another user, I initially planned to rehome Holly as I already had five cats when my mom passed but she fit in so well I just decided to keep her ❤
It is astounding how much work goes into cleaning these places! I never even considered that you actually tear stuff apart as much as you do! Job well done!
I really vibed with this episode because I can relate to the collecting the cute and the creepy. I could easily end up passing in a similar situation. It's no-ones fault, it's just sadly something that happens. I'm really glad everything could be cleaned and renewed, and honestly I feel like this person would be happy, too. Especially being able to find and care for Holly. Am I the only person who goes "ooh! interesting!" when I see the maggots? It's amazing how fast these natural processes happen in decomp
I have to say, it’s really interesting (in a very morbid way) to see what happens to, say a bed, after a person passes away on it. It’s just something you never think about so seeing it is, well of course very dark, but informative. Your professionalism was really fantastic and thank you for explaining so much.
Sad she passed away, but she had some pretty cool things in her house! Can’t those glass figures be scrubbed washed? With bleach! The pictures were neat too, very hard work guys, I miss these kind of crime scene cleanups.
So I just want to say thank you for these videos...my uncle passed away last Friday and when I realized nobody had spoken to him by Sunday I went to check on him and found he'd died. Even though it had only been 3 days before we found him there was some skin slip and these extreme scenarios prepared me for going into his house luckily the bio was very very limited.
Ohh, I’m so sorry to hear about your uncle & my heart goes out to you for being the one that found him. My mom committed suicide this past July & I unfortunately was the one who found her. It’s beyond shocking & heartbreaking & I hope that mentally, your doing well. I am happy that these vids from these incredible, brave, strong, loving & compassionate people have helped you, I’m sure they are grateful knowing that all their hard work is helping people to get through the most difficult of situations. God bless you & your family. Sending you Love 💕 Light 💫 & Prayers 🙏🏻
I love this channel, new watcher here. I had never known they don’t clean up after they take the body. Had to learn that the hard way after my uncle shot himself in the head. They took him and left. And then we had to mop up what was rest of him off the floor. God BLESS you folks ❤
knowing what death smells like as a medical professional? I can't imagine this job. You guys get hands down the biggest amount of kudos I could ever give.
At the End You found Lil "Holly" Thank you So Much Beautiful Soul's, That made my soul cry. Thank you Spaulding 😢Great Job Team. Please Everyone Just Send your close Loved one's a 👍 in the Morning, then they send you one back. I Do this to my Mum and Son. If no reply I am over there. Even a phone call. Remember the body remains and the Soul Goes Home/Heaven. I don't know about you, but could you Sleep with those Annabelle Art on your walls? Just curious. Kindest thoughts to the Spaulding Decon Team, Subscribers and your families and Furbabies from Australia x "In the Arm's of the Angel's to the Soul to Passed Alone" 🕯💐
fascinating video. strong work crew. when I miss church last week which I actually only watch on video Someone texted me to see how I was and my first thought interestingly was that if I died they wouldn't find my monthly body because people from church were checking on me LOL
Whoa buddy, this is a big job..... May the deceased rest in peace, but man they were nearly as into dolls as my grandma. Not quite, but close. May she rest in peace as well. She's been gone for a few years, but she had thousands of porcelain dolls. She didn't die there though. She just had a lot of crap that we had to deal with LOL
My 9 year old has talked about either wanting to be a garbage man, or crime scene/biohazard clean ups for years now. I would love to do this together with him when he's older !
If it's one thing I've learned from your videos it's that when the time comes, for maximum seepage, I want to make it to the floor so that my bed doesn't absorb any bodily fluids. I want the floor and the downstairs neighbor's ceiling to receive maximum ooze.
NGL this is the first of this video series where the deceased person shared similar interests to mine. The "Toxic Toys" bit of the video shattered my heart a bit. Reminds me of that one time in high school when I was a sophomore when I discovered a big teddy bear in a locker room trash bin next to the built in office. It was THAT dirty. But at the very least it wasn't exposed to bio. Who knew just a simple exposure to bio can contaminate something even though the bio doesn't necessarily touch it directly? As they say, better safe than sorry.
Trash removal and sewage disposal are two of the greatest achievements of civilization. I rarely think about where it all goes, but I'm so glad it does.
I heard of one lady who was not found for 5 years who died on her couch watching TV but she had auto pay for her electric bill so nobody really caught the death for years
Do you ever see items that are to thrown out that have not been in the bio area that you can keep? I saw all the Owls and was like, I hope they don't get tossed out.
I feel so sad for the deceased person that lays there all alone for that long. No one checks on them? So sad. I always say that God made all of us different and you guys are definitely different and I thank God for y’all. There is no way I could that job. God bless all of you.
Out of all the things this lady had collected in her life, seeing the eMachines eOne PC was the most interesting thing to me. I love obscure retro tech, haha. I'm glad to see her kitty was rescued and rehomed, too. Y'all are a blessing to the families of the deceased and I strongly commend the work you do. One must really have a strong mind to take on such gruesome work.
Right? I wonder who is this stuffed animal collecting, goth, social liberal atheist, presumably woman, was. That obsolete computer was the finishing touch for such a character.
Fun fact about that computer, emachine was sued by Apple because the eOne looked too similar to the imac. Apple won and the model was discontinued a year after it was launched
Really sucks to see all them care bears go in the bin, they are super cute. This person had really good taste in ornaments and collectables, I love the horror stuff. What a shame, a big fear of mine is dying and not being discovered for ages.
I don't know why, but I want to cry watching this video. So many things, furniture, clothes... This lady touched something for the last time in her life, watched it for the last time in her life. Something left the way it has been put before. There was a human soul everywhere, even though the body was no longer there. I know that there was a lot to throw away and it's the right thing to do. It's just... It's so sad when one minute a person lives, and then moment later there's darkness. It's so scary.
whenever I watch these videos, I cannot help but wonder: how careful are you all in removing your contaminated protective gear? does it get sanitized after each use? what is the proper method of taking off your contaminated boots and gloves, and where do you put them after a job is done? the moment you were pulling at that carpet full of cat urine, I noticed a lot of debris which looked small enough to be inhaled. nobody was wearing a solid mask to protect from that moment, and why was that? furthermore, the brooms/vacuums/mops/cleaning bottles (spray bottles) that you use, are these sanitized often as well? I ask because, for example, what if an employee in the middle of a decon task wearing gloves that have traces of bio on them uses the spray bottle? is that ever cleaned before placing it back in the truck/storage? curious to know about the other tools you use as well in terms of maintaining them and keeping them safe to use especially considering these tools ride in the same trucks as you do when you’re on the job, and after the job. I swear in some videos on this channel it looks like certain team members are very laid back when it comes to touching certain things, then touching the truck door handle or sitting on the truck where a lot of contaminated garbage has sat as well. just curious
Yes. The Asian ones are much more thorough with complete hooded suits, masks and not a spec of skin exposed. All bio is wrapped and bagged before removal to avoid contamination and is taken to special bio disposal site. They must have different safety laws.
I myself am somewhat of a hoarder. I think it could be part of my mental health condition. I fear this happening to me especially as I live alone and don't have friends. I don't want to be left alone in my home being deceased for a while before being found.
I remember my first bio job. I didn't know going into work that day that we'd have a bio job, it was by far the hardest hardest job I've ever done. it was a sui€!de and the family was there to let us in the house and my heart broke for them. **Also wanted to add, my husband bought me an oscillator/multi tool(his tools the Dremel too). it's the best tool to be invented. if you don't have one get one.
Bless you for providing such an essential service. Nobody should have to clean up after their loved one dies like that. It may not have been obvious at the time, with grief and shock but you made all the difference to that family.
It was very sad to have to toss them all, but with the way she passed at the home, there is no good way to get them all clean enough to not pose a problem for a next owner

It is halloween guys...I have witnessed Ryan telling he talks to the spirits of the places he whips up clean and i know the energy that lingers,,,,please do a ghost episode...maybe a podcast of your experiences...BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME..I think i could do this kind of work if I could leave work at work, but I know the spirits would be following me home....It is a possibility, so lets talk about it why don't we???I am all ears.....
Yessss! I second this!
ditto.. and if you don't want the g word to mess up your TH-cam algorithm, I'd be glad to have you on my channel to talk about 👻's
I was extra emotional watching this one and normally I wouldn't say it hits this close to home. This person and I shared a lot of the same interests and the home was so gorgeous, I could see myself living there. It makes me so sad that no one knew for several days and I just hope this soul is at peace.
I collect that kinda stuff too so it’s interesting to see what happens when you leave it all behind
Yeah, nobody cares about your stuff like you do... especially horror type stuff, "macabre" stuff and "childlike" stuff, as seen in the video here. It's sad to think, but I highly doubt my mom or anyone outside of my husband would want my skulls and bones collection, nor my antique mortician's kit, preserved bat, preserved death's head moth, my antique post mortem photographs, etc. But I would certainly hope she'd sell them at least and not just throw them away!!!
Yeah, it's all about enjoying your stuff while you can. Had she not passed in the room with everything, most of that stuff could have been sold or donated in the family wanted to. But since they were all exposed to decomp for a few days, there is no good way to clean all the stuffed animals and things to not pose a problem for the next owner.

Well, you might be surprised! All of those things sound amazing!! What an awesome collection it sounds like you have acquired !!! Just to let u know, there are other “weirdos” just like u out in the world! And I’m proud to say I am one of them!! Always enjoy your amazing collection!!
Thank you for finding the Miss Holly 😻
No problem 😊
Wow! That person had some cool stuff. What an interesting life story they must have had. 😎
I would have liked to have met them!
Yep! They had a lot of cool things!
Thank you for including at the end the rescue of the cat. I'm glad to see that the cat was safe and placed in another home.
Us too!
@@CrimeSceneCleaning having you comment back was actually kind of surprising. A lot of TH-cam channels do not comment back to subscribers. You know, I think I could handle crime scene clean up. I was certified to remove biohazards and bloodborne pathogens back in 2015 but I don't know how long those certifications last until they have to be renewed. The only time I get squeamish is when it's my own blood or tissue. Other than that watching these videos I don't get squeamish. I think the only thing that would really bother me is the smell maybe? Anyways you guys have a great day and stay safe out there! Remember to wear ppe! LOL
As I mentioned to another user, I initially planned to rehome Holly as I already had five cats when my mom passed but she fit in so well I just decided to keep her ❤
Thank you for the great narration. You guys did a real thorough job🙂
Thank you! We try out best to also educate as we go!
It is astounding how much work goes into cleaning these places! I never even considered that you actually tear stuff apart as much as you do! Job well done!
These people are hard workers that’s for sure!! Sending love and support from Kentucky
I really vibed with this episode because I can relate to the collecting the cute and the creepy. I could easily end up passing in a similar situation. It's no-ones fault, it's just sadly something that happens. I'm really glad everything could be cleaned and renewed, and honestly I feel like this person would be happy, too. Especially being able to find and care for Holly.
Am I the only person who goes "ooh! interesting!" when I see the maggots? It's amazing how fast these natural processes happen in decomp
I have to say, it’s really interesting (in a very morbid way) to see what happens to, say a bed, after a person passes away on it. It’s just something you never think about so seeing it is, well of course very dark, but informative. Your professionalism was really fantastic and thank you for explaining so much.
Sad she passed away, but she had some pretty cool things in her house! Can’t those glass figures be scrubbed washed? With bleach! The pictures were neat too, very hard work guys, I miss these kind of crime scene cleanups.
She did have a lot of cool retro stuff! It hurt to have to toss it all.
Ohhhh that beautiful kitty, if I was close to this area I would take her in a heartbeat. I am always impressed by the work you do
She was adorable! and thank you!
Thank you for finding Holly. 💕💜💕
So I just want to say thank you for these videos...my uncle passed away last Friday and when I realized nobody had spoken to him by Sunday I went to check on him and found he'd died. Even though it had only been 3 days before we found him there was some skin slip and these extreme scenarios prepared me for going into his house luckily the bio was very very limited.
I’m so sorry to hear about your uncle and I’m glad videos like this helped you, it helped me as well.
Ohh, I’m so sorry to hear about your uncle & my heart goes out to you for being the one that found him. My mom committed suicide this past July & I unfortunately was the one who found her. It’s beyond shocking & heartbreaking & I hope that mentally, your doing well. I am happy that these vids from these incredible, brave, strong, loving & compassionate people have helped you, I’m sure they are grateful knowing that all their hard work is helping people to get through the most difficult of situations. God bless you & your family. Sending you Love 💕 Light 💫 & Prayers 🙏🏻
Thank you, it was interesting to see the decisions you took and why. Glad you found Holly and she is safe and loved in a new home.
I don’t know how it should be done, but from watching it looks great. Amazing job!
Thank you!
Definitely a sad lost. Great partnership as always you guys and your teams are so very strong in this department much love to y'all 🙏🏼
So glad to hear about the poor kitty.
I am so happy that Holly is safe and sound with a new family.🙂
Thank goodness Holly was found ok.
This is so sad.
I love this channel, new watcher here. I had never known they don’t clean up after they take the body. Had to learn that the hard way after my uncle shot himself in the head. They took him and left. And then we had to mop up what was rest of him off the floor.
God BLESS you folks ❤
knowing what death smells like as a medical professional? I can't imagine this job. You guys get hands down the biggest amount of kudos I could ever give.
At the End You found Lil "Holly" Thank you So Much Beautiful Soul's, That made my soul cry. Thank you Spaulding 😢Great Job Team. Please Everyone Just Send your close Loved one's a 👍 in the Morning, then they send you one back. I Do this to my Mum and Son. If no reply I am over there. Even a phone call. Remember the body remains and the Soul Goes Home/Heaven. I don't know about you, but could you Sleep with those Annabelle Art on your walls? Just curious. Kindest thoughts to the Spaulding Decon Team, Subscribers and your families and Furbabies from Australia x "In the Arm's of the Angel's to the Soul to Passed Alone" 🕯💐
It's interesting that the bed room wasn't hoarded. Glad you were able to find the cat. I was worried about it. Glad she's safe.
Yes, luckily the cat was ok!
honestly more grossed out by sweat pouring out of that boot than any of the blood and maggots
hahaha. It can get pretty hot in these suits and masks 😅
Yes, I have to look away for that
I love Chance! BTW, the bloody mattress freak me out! I'm so sorry for your loss! 😢
fascinating video. strong work crew. when I miss church last week which I actually only watch on video Someone texted me to see how I was and my first thought interestingly was that if I died they wouldn't find my monthly body because people from church were checking on me LOL
Great job guys! Very professional!
Thanks so much!
Whoa buddy, this is a big job..... May the deceased rest in peace, but man they were nearly as into dolls as my grandma. Not quite, but close. May she rest in peace as well. She's been gone for a few years, but she had thousands of porcelain dolls. She didn't die there though. She just had a lot of crap that we had to deal with LOL
Glad the kitty was found safe you guys did an amazing job👍
Thank you! and us too!
This really puts life in perspective.
I definitely want to pursue this career. Clearly not for the weak. Ty for uploading these videos!
You're welcome!
My 9 year old has talked about either wanting to be a garbage man, or crime scene/biohazard clean ups for years now. I would love to do this together with him when he's older !
LOVE the Holly story at the end! 😻
Wow the cat was found and saved. Amazing. This was tough to watch, I have to turn away when I see the maggots, how very sad. Great job done by all.
If it's one thing I've learned from your videos it's that when the time comes, for maximum seepage, I want to make it to the floor so that my bed doesn't absorb any bodily fluids. I want the floor and the downstairs neighbor's ceiling to receive maximum ooze.
The items in the house spoke of someone who appreciated quirkiness and irreverence. It's sad that someone so unique died alone.
Ooooo can’t wait maybe some yuckie stuff today
Thank you for doing such a though all job , and not cut any corners doing this , poor lady. Poor everybody
As with most unattended deaths, I hope the departed passed painlessly and quickly in their sleep, and that they were and are at peace.
She had some cool collections and great taste in art - I bet she was rad to chill with. Yay for saving the kitty~!
NGL this is the first of this video series where the deceased person shared similar interests to mine.
The "Toxic Toys" bit of the video shattered my heart a bit. Reminds me of that one time in high school when I was a sophomore when I discovered a big teddy bear in a locker room trash bin next to the built in office. It was THAT dirty. But at the very least it wasn't exposed to bio.
Who knew just a simple exposure to bio can contaminate something even though the bio doesn't necessarily touch it directly?
As they say, better safe than sorry.
Trash removal and sewage disposal are two of the greatest achievements of civilization. I rarely think about where it all goes, but I'm so glad it does.
These are the videos I like watching.
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
I heard of one lady who was not found for 5 years who died on her couch watching TV but she had auto pay for her electric bill so nobody really caught the death for years
Oh man! That's so sad 🥺
Do you ever see items that are to thrown out that have not been in the bio area that you can keep? I saw all the Owls and was like, I hope they don't get tossed out.
"What do we got here?"
" .. activity" LMAO
These guys usually make 18-27 an hour ....they deserve more 100%
I could do this for 27 an hour.
I love her decor! Family needs to get them.
I feel so sad for the deceased person that lays there all alone for that long. No one checks on them? So sad. I always say that God made all of us different and you guys are definitely different and I thank God for y’all. There is no way I could that job. God bless all of you.
11:01 I wanna give that kid a hug
I am a huge horror & sci-fi fanatic. If it's creepy, I love it. This person had a lot of stuff I have in my home now.
You all are amazing great work
The blood the bugs the fluid none of that bothers me but that foot sweat did it for me!!!!
Whenever WOOD gets into a porous material like WOOD 🤣
Truly enjoyed this video. Chock full of information. More in depth with explanation. I'd really love to work for Spaulding Decon.
I never even thought a death on the bed would go so far ..especially the body laying for weeks
Heartbreaking to see all that lovely knicknacks to go i bet there was gold and silver jewellery too😢
I guarantee I would stub my toes on that platform every single day.
Wow yall do a great job. And a happy ending!
This woman had the coolest stuff! The evil nun pictures are so awesome 👌🏼
Out of all the things this lady had collected in her life, seeing the eMachines eOne PC was the most interesting thing to me. I love obscure retro tech, haha. I'm glad to see her kitty was rescued and rehomed, too. Y'all are a blessing to the families of the deceased and I strongly commend the work you do. One must really have a strong mind to take on such gruesome work.
Right? I wonder who is this stuffed animal collecting, goth, social liberal atheist, presumably woman, was. That obsolete computer was the finishing touch for such a character.
Fun fact about that computer, emachine was sued by Apple because the eOne looked too similar to the imac. Apple won and the model was discontinued a year after it was launched
It's such a cool obscure thing to have, and this person knows it. Really wonder who this interesting person was.
Wow almost total demo 😮
Really sucks to see all them care bears go in the bin, they are super cute. This person had really good taste in ornaments and collectables, I love the horror stuff. What a shame, a big fear of mine is dying and not being discovered for ages.
Was a shame all the stuff got contaminated. Hated to see it all get thrown away but it was necessary
I'm wondering if with the way the platform was built if it didn't house a water bed before could that explain the plaster?
That is very possible!
i think you should tell their stroy too.itll be awesome
Unattended deaths are usually a pretty big job these people always do a amazing job
This person had so much bad ass stuff.
I don't know why, but I want to cry watching this video. So many things, furniture, clothes... This lady touched something for the last time in her life, watched it for the last time in her life. Something left the way it has been put before. There was a human soul everywhere, even though the body was no longer there. I know that there was a lot to throw away and it's the right thing to do. It's just... It's so sad when one minute a person lives, and then moment later there's darkness. It's so scary.
That poor cat. Poor baby was probably terrified and had no idea what was happening or why her human was gone.
80's toys, funko pops, horror memorabilia such a shame seeing all go to dump.
fair play i couldn't do the bio or maggots. oh nooo
whenever I watch these videos, I cannot help but wonder: how careful are you all in removing your contaminated protective gear? does it get sanitized after each use? what is the proper method of taking off your contaminated boots and gloves, and where do you put them after a job is done? the moment you were pulling at that carpet full of cat urine, I noticed a lot of debris which looked small enough to be inhaled. nobody was wearing a solid mask to protect from that moment, and why was that? furthermore, the brooms/vacuums/mops/cleaning bottles (spray bottles) that you use, are these sanitized often as well? I ask because, for example, what if an employee in the middle of a decon task wearing gloves that have traces of bio on them uses the spray bottle? is that ever cleaned before placing it back in the truck/storage? curious to know about the other tools you use as well in terms of maintaining them and keeping them safe to use especially considering these tools ride in the same trucks as you do when you’re on the job, and after the job. I swear in some videos on this channel it looks like certain team members are very laid back when it comes to touching certain things, then touching the truck door handle or sitting on the truck where a lot of contaminated garbage has sat as well. just curious
Yes. The Asian ones are much more thorough with complete hooded suits, masks and not a spec of skin exposed. All bio is wrapped and bagged before removal to avoid contamination and is taken to special bio disposal site.
They must have different safety laws.
I myself am somewhat of a hoarder. I think it could be part of my mental health condition. I fear this happening to me especially as I live alone and don't have friends. I don't want to be left alone in my home being deceased for a while before being found.
Great job…but it’s so sad to see that someone dies all alone and isn’t found right away.😢
Bosdy fluids really get into spaces
I remember my first bio job. I didn't know going into work that day that we'd have a bio job, it was by far the hardest hardest job I've ever done. it was a sui€!de and the family was there to let us in the house and my heart broke for them.
**Also wanted to add, my husband bought me an oscillator/multi tool(his tools the Dremel too). it's the best tool to be invented. if you don't have one get one.
Bless you for providing such an essential service. Nobody should have to clean up after their loved one dies like that. It may not have been obvious at the time, with grief and shock but you made all the difference to that family.
I love the things I have, to see this person's belongings get thrown away makes me so sad. Thats their life.
It was very sad to have to toss them all, but with the way she passed at the home, there is no good way to get them all clean enough to not pose a problem for a next owner
Material items are inherently meaningless. This person never got help for the hoarding disorder. That is sad.
This person seemed like a certified punk rocker. Rock in peace. 🤘🤘🤘
You KNOW that Nun crawled outta that picture and killed that person...
hahaha
