Drinking alcohol is drinking alcohol so truly or whatever you dumped down the drain is non alcoholic.. I don't get it.. so they were fine to drive if they drank a 12pk.. just wondering bc I never heard of that name
Y'all are very DISRESPECTFUL for going thru his personal things. Why would y'all open his refrigerator "WITH CONTAMINATED GLOVES ON" and display to us what's in his fridge and cabinets? You guys need to be mindful of their families bcuz your videos go viral and they could be seeing this. Death is very sensitive and when you're love one dies you wanna know that they we're at least treated with respect REGARDLESS of how they died. And I don't buy this drug overdose y'all keep specifying, bcuz WHY IS THERE SOOOO MUCH BLOOD? But besides that, I just think y'all should be a little more RESPECTFUL and empathetic when you're cleaning up DEATH.
Fentanyl cannot be absorbed through the skin. Please do your research before broadcasting dangerous misinformation that could cost someone that is overdosing their life. Sincerely, an IV heroin/fentany addict in recovery.
@@godisrealgodislove7767 there is blood because he decomposed and when that happens the skin breaks down and contents of the body ooze out. It looks like a murder but everyone decompose like that unless they are cremated or embalmed right away.
Im a funeral director, and I would like to thank cleaners. Cleaning is a grossly overlooked necessity that helps the family move on and learn to live with their loss. ❤
Agreed. I don’t even know how my grandfathers death was handled, he took his life using a shotgun and I know after authorities left the scene my dad and my cousin started clean up - but everything had to get thrown out. My mom doesn’t know, but my grandmother has one of my grandfathers pillow cases still (no biomaterial got on it), and my grandmother has it hidden by her bed. I cleaned her room this summer and stumbled upon it, and it smelled like him and I knew exactly why she kept it. I folded it nicely and put it back hidden. She said some nights it feels like he’s sitting at the bottom of her bed 😭
Hi Scot. Thank you for sharing. We commend you on your bravery. Would you be interested in sharing your story with us? We would love to interview you as a resource for our blog content and/or podcast, Talking Decon.
almost 14 yrs in sobriety: everything i lost, i got it back and then some. recovery has given me a successful career, happy marriage, beautiful home, and 2 precious daughters. the message is hope and the promise is freedom
This absolutely breaks my heart but also woke my butt up I am 54 days clean from fentanyl I am praying for everyone who still suffering with this addiction and the families of everyone who has lost due to fentanyl
I remember after my step father shot himself , the cops leaving the mess behind , and my neighbor who was a nurse offered to clean it for us .. we didn't have the cleaning crew ..and we probably would not have been able to afford it either ..I still remember when she came to me , and told me to leave the door unlocked for her .. I'll never forget her kindness..
It is admirable that they meticulously clean the personal effects of the deceased so that the family can have them back without any traces of the tragedy that took place.
I too am glad they got clean, but I wish they hadn’t been tempted to use illegal drugs in the first place, I can’t remember where I heard this line/saying but “once an addict, always an addict, being clean just means your an addict that isn’t using” same applies to alcoholism🍺.
@@allandavis8201 umm not true because I stopped drinking and using drugs for over 10 years now and I haven't touched it since !!! I'm not an addict haven't even the desire to also GOD has played a big MAJOR PART OF IT ALL AND I GIVE ALL THE GLORY AND PRAISE TO HIM BECAUSE IF IT WEREN'T FOR GOD WHO KNOWS WHERE IS BE PROBABLY DEAD!! But that once an addict always an addict is TOTALLY FALSE!!!
@@kweaver1965 My brother had to go through alcohol rehab and then to AA. He always called himself an alcoholic. He finally got right with the Lord and I told him, you're not an alcoholic anymore, Jesus removed the addiction. He agreed. He's a Methodist Pastor today and that was over 30 years ago. I believe if one keeps calling themselves an addict, it undermines what did Jesus did for them.
5 years clean and counting!! Woop woop!!! For those of you who uave also been staying clean,I'm so proud of you!! I know how hard it is! Everyday is a success!!! Let's keep it going!!!
I’m an officer who has worked on deceased persons who have decomped and the smell is nothing compared to anything I’ve ever smelled before… the smell took 2-3 days to leave my nose and I couldn’t eat for a whole day due to feeling like I was tasting the smell… it’s a very sad thing and God bless everyone who have been working hard to keep a clean lifestyle ❤️
I've smelt it once and not in a way that involves being in a work environment that exposes you to it. My grandfather passed away last year. I live in South Africa and there were two problems with this scenario. Firstly, he lived in a small mining town very far from any hospital. He passed in a hospital 2 hours away from our hometown and ultimately where he'd be laid to rest. Secondly, we were in a severe stage of power cuts nationwide. At that stage we experienced 6 hours of outages in intervals per day. On the day of his funeral, I wanted to see him one last time. The funeral director made sure we were in a private area as she proceeded to screw open the coffin. With the coffin opening, a smell came out. I have never smelt anything like it and it made me feel sick. It is the kind of smell that sticks with you. Unfortunately, now when I think of my Oupa, the first thing that comes to mind is his unrecognisable pale face and that smell. I will never request to say goodbye again.
@@irmafouche3735I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Almost same as I did. It really is a special smell that is hard to forget. If they didn’t warn you about it before agreeing to show you then that’s very horrible of them. Big healing hug 🌸
Same, I've had to throw out uniforms and shoes that I just couldn't get the smell out of. I'd put Vicks up my nose for days so that's all I'd smell. Going home after those incidents was rough, taking my clothes off in the garage and walking through the house in my bra and underwear told my family how my day had gone. Straight to the shower, and no matter how much scrubbing and hot water I used, I still smelled it, hence the Vicks. I'd ask my BF if he could smell anything on me after I got cleaned up and he never did, but I sure did! Once in a while I could save my uniform but mostly not.
I did this for almost seven months and I was more depressed than I had ever been... Had to quite soon after. I have nothing but respect for people who do this. This job is so much hard work, physically, mentally and emotionally. I work overnight maintenance at Walmart now and people wonder why I clean so well.....
It's one of those jobs that's not for everyone. I can handle the bio and contamination. The physical labor. Knowing why I'm doing it would get to me pretty fast.
The whole time I'd prolly just have it in my head how I literally clean up other people's eff ups for a living and how the decedent's stupidity astounds me.
@@shar159 it's probably opposite for me. I hate cleaning but the thought that this was at one point a living person I could handle, I was wanting to kind of do this but I then realised that is pretty much cleaning and I figured that I could be an embalmer. I think that could actually be quite interesting.
I would love to know how to also get into this type of cleaning l've got 30yrs experience in the cleaning industry l also completed a course in bio cleaning to be a registered technician, just have had no luck finding a business or company that needs my skills. Also Melbourne Australia...
PLEASE stay away from drugs. I got hooked on pain pills and it was an absolute nightmare. I almost lost everything. I am so thankful that I had a husband who believed in me and wanted us to be together. So many things led to me getting hooked on drugs, but therapy has made such a difference. I got clean in 2013 and went back to college in 2014. I had a 3 year old and an 8 year old, so college was tough, but I was so happy. I graduated in 2019, and I just completed my first year of teaching!!! My husband and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, and our children are now 11 and 16, and are happy, well rounded kids. If you are addicted and feeling like you’ll never be free, please hear me. YOU CAN GET BETTER! You deserve to be well, healthy, and happy. Please get help.
Absolutely and it happens to the best of us! I remember 16-17 years ago being so stupid to think people purposely got addicted to opioids.... Then I started having surgery after surgery after surgery in my late teens and early 20's. I remember getting pain pills prescribed to me like candy and we aren't talking just hydrocodone 5s lol! I remember thinking, I will stick to exactly what the bottle says and I'll be just fine! Yep, that started my miserable downfall that I never thought I could pick myself up from... But I did nearly 6 years ago with the help of methadone maintenance! Addiction can happen to anybody and much quicker than I ever would have imagined!
Our stories are so similar. I too became hooked to pain pills and almost lost everything. I still struggle with pain and weight gain but anything is better than the feeling of withdrawal and being broke all the time! Good for you for getting your life together!
@@fatbottombiker3038 I am happy to hear you are doing better but bummed that you are struggling with pain :( My chronic pain (mostly from all those surgeries that caused major nerve damage plus the same health issues I've always needed the surgeries for) is the reason methadone maintenance was the only option for me. Over the years, I'd fight like hell to get past the withdrawal stage and then a month or two later right back to surgery and right back on pain meds. It was a never ending hell cycle. I'd work to buy pain meds to be able to work to buy more pain meds... that is not living! Methadone is the only thing that has ever touched my pain for more than maybe an hour and I was on some very strong stuff that could have killed many horses per day lol! I now feel like a normal person in their mid 30's should and not miserable in pain daily or high as a kite!
I also used to be a fentanyl addict. Now I work for a coroners office and see this type of stuff everyday. I just transport no cleaning or . I just help the coroners pick up the decedent wherever they may be. I salute you guys for what you do.
This channel has really made me get my Heath together. I don't have drug issues - but the idea of being scraped off the floor with cat litter because of something I could prevent or improve on - just chills me to the bone. Honestly. This is horrifying. Holy Christ:
@@ellenherstead1343 like no joke seriously - I've been watching and making changes. This one though really hit me. The visual and the idea I could be soaked up in kitty litter and swept up in a dust pan... 👀
Yep, me too! I put on a lot of weight after I fell into a depression after my dad died. The idea of being really fat AND melting into the floor absolutely horrifies me. I'm now losing weight.
Omg. This hits home! I saw my husband od right in front of me and it took three narcans to save him. We both used but he was intravenous user...I watch him slip off his chair and he became purple on his face and neck...rushed to open the life saving Narcan...I waited, nothing! I did 3 of them to see his chest finally start slowly move. It was the worst experience ever but we didn't stop until a month after that. It's been over a year and we are still both clean. We work on ourselves every day...we got our kids back...life makes sense again. This video has made me realize this could have been us. I hate this disease and what it does to people. It doesn't discriminate , it takes anyone...
I'm so sorry you went through that with your husband. I can't imagine the dedication and strength it must have taken for the two of you to get clean and bring your kids back home. I lost a cousin to an OD, he was only 36. Such a bright, pleasant young man. I'm so glad you got another chance. I hope you and your family have a beautiful future ahead of you. God bless you.
@@mikeyfn-a6684 just stay away from that shit all it takes is slippin that one time someone aint around you. My ladys brother lost his life due to that shit way too young and he had kids too.tragic shit
@@mikeyfn-a6684Mdone is definitely a whole other monster of it’s own, but if it were me, I’m staying in the program and doing the hard work to stay away from all this deathwishing.
How is it a disease if you chose to do it? I’m not trying to start a fight I’m genuinely asking. My dad died from cancer that is a disease he didn’t choose to get cancer. Drug users choose. So what? Also I’m 15 I’m genuinely confused.
I was addicted to fentanyl from 2007 to 2014 I wore two 75mg at once. This started after a twenty yr opiate pill addiction, to hear now how many people are dying today from it is mind blowing to me and makes me thankful I'm still here. I've been clean now for over 17yrs If anyone reading this is going through it trust me you can stop. It's hard might be the hardest thing you'll ever do but it's possible. Hang in there!!
It's the smallest thing, but seeing the drinks go down the drain saddened me so much. This person was just living their life, and then was gone. Bought some drinks for their evenings, had their keys out cause they go out and about like we all do, and then one wrong choice took them away. Such a shame. I hope the family is in the best place they can be right now.
@@svtkilr Decomp. That wasn't just "blood", their body over time was breaking down and that liquid you see is their body fluid from decomposition. In Florida bodies generally tend to decomposition differently and more quickly due to the heat and weather. This wasn't a suicide, or a murder, just an unfortunate OD accident and tragedy.
I'm now 48 days clean off of 4 years of fentynol use. I'm 21 and love my life sober. THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!! UPDATE: im over a year clean and I still get comments on this. Thank you..
As a recovering Heroin addict. Seeing this is such scary thing. Just lost another friend a few day ago from a overdoes. By the Grace of God I have 5years 5 months and exactly 5 days clean. My prayers are with EVERY addict!! I’m recovering or in active addiction!!! I don’t think I could do this job. Thank y’all for doing it tho! God Bless
I lost my son to heroin/fentanyl overdose on Jan 3,2022 he was just 1 month short of turning 24. Very sad to see this kind of stuff going on in the US. He got addicted to pain pills first.
I have one of the top comments to this video... i posted that comment at 48 days clean.. through support and emotional intelegence im proud to say i now have over a year clean. Absolutely incredible.
I lost my 22 year old son to fentanyl & carafentanyl poisoning in 2016. I now have custody of his only son who was his pride & joy. This is such a horrific epidemic, my prayers to any other families going through this 🙏🏼💔
@@Rox1SMF yes it is & my poor grandson was 4 when he lost his daddy & September he lost his mom before his 10th birthday. My son had high amounts of both fentanyl & carafentanyl in his system. My only peace is knowing he didn’t suffer 💔😭
Sorry for your loss. I was born in 1989 first time and only time I overdosed was on CARfentanyl, in Cincinnati in August 2016. They did CPR to bring me back, 8 hits of narcan is all they could give and it wasn't working on its own. I dont have any friends from childhood that made it past 30, most past before they were 25. RIP to them And your son. Peace and prosperity.
I'm so sorry for your lost 😢 I know so many people that had died from drug overdose, but the sad thing is the doctors were giving their patients pain medication, now this is the people that passed away, so the government stepped in and doctors were afraid, they knocked them down slowly or refused to give them anything, so that's why fentanyl and meth got big. I know that it's been around forever but it got worse since the government stepped in. I just wish there was a miracle pill to help addiction 🙏
I helped clean up after my friend's mother ended her own life. It was not an easy sight, but it was the smallest bit of service I could do to help my friend through the hard times. Thanks for the work you all do. It's not easy, but is absolutely vital to those in need.
in case no one’s told you, thank you for helping your friend out. srsly that’s so kind of you. not many people would’ve done that but you’re truly a true friend
I too cleaned up what was left of my best friend, so his family didn't have to experience the trauma. He killed himself laying on the couch with a gun, so mostly the couch and the dog covered in him
As a substance use counselor, I see the struggle everyday. Two of the things I try to drill in most is that the individual is NOT the addiction! You are not an "addict," you are a whole person with a chemical dependency. And there is a 99.99% chance that you do not acknowledge all the small, difficult steps it takes (took) to be free. Stop. Reflect. Acknowledge. Celebrate. You. The world is more fuller and richer with you in it!
I lost a friend of mine cause of Fentanyl. He was a great dude and always happy. He died while sleeping, his dad found him. May his soul rest in peace.
As a teen two friends and two classmates died via overdose related to fentanyl. 3 in the matter two months and one classmate two years on the dot after the first three. Now as an adult I teach the teens I work with all about harm reduction, safe supply, and how to use naloxone kits to help reverse od’s
Nearly 10 years sober, this is harrowing. To anyone that needs to hear this. You can do it, You're not alone in this fight. Someone out there loves you and needs you. Alive.
Man, looking around this apartment, I can tell this person was 20s or early 30s, very close to my age. Looking at the decor and how new the apartment is and the fact that the apartment was somewhat clean tells me this person cared about themselves and really made a horrific mistake. I'm thinking maybe the guy(the bachelor) and his friend or even girlfriend were thinking they were buying cocaine and now they're a decomposed bloody mess all over the floor, all semblance of who they were just a week before they died basically gone, rotting. Absolutely horrific. I can't help but look at the furniture that was clearly purchased at Ikea and Target and humanize this person, I imagine them shopping and decorating this apartment, sitting and watching that TV there on their couch, opening a Truly and just living like the rest of us. I find this so horrifying. I just want all of this to stop. No more overdoses, no more people decomposing for days or weeks before anyone knows they're dead, no more suicides. It's so tragic. Life is unforgiving. I respect the people that do this so much. Thank you so much for helping people through this. It's astounding that you all can stand it and do it compassionately to boot. Watching these videos makes me think we all need to be a little nicer to one another.
hahaha you've obviously never been around hard drugs with that comment about buying fent on accident thinking it was coke... no dealer would ever sell fent to a newbie like that under the guise of coke. just think about it why kill off your customer base when you could sell them real coke and they come back later to buy more another time. what we need to do is legalize all drugs so when ppl want to buy coke or XTC or whatever you know its the real thing... do you ever wonder if that beer or whiskey you buy at the bar or liquor store is real and not made by someone in their bathtub? no because its a regulated drug that has tons of saftey measures to prevent you from going blind off on3 shot... but hey im just advocating for 5y/os to have access to fentanyl right?!
@@liltreefort2804 you're right I don't do drugs so I'm not an expert but apparently you aren't either because the stats don't support any of that diatribe you left here
@@TheLocalEccentric why dont you point out where im wrong instead of just saying your wrong? go look at portugals drug legalization and come back to me? nowhere did i say i was an expert but hey run with that since you think your all that and a bag of chips but yes i have bought cocaine/meth/lsd/xtc/weed numerous times in the last 5 years and none i repeat NONE of those dealers EVER sold fent to me or ever even had fent for sale... my coke dealer flat out told me he wouldnt touch that shit w a 1000 ft pole... so yeah i think maybe just a little bit i might know what im talking about lol diatribe shut your nerdy goofy ass up
It's kind of scary to think about the fact that other companies out there might not be halfway doing this type of job correctly. If not, there's no telling what people who would enter a location at a later time could be at risk of being exposed to. It looks like you guys do a very thorough job.
@@pamelamorris3148 are you a crime scene cleaner? Blood can get everywhere. And you don't know what other things that person was exposed to. Thwy have to clean everything. So your idea of overkill can be routine for someone else. Who's probably been doing it for years
@@wednesdayaddams1473 it isn't the body-decomp that is being cleaned up carefully for fear of fentanyl contamination! You are not going to overdose on fentanyl from contact with an overdosed corpse's blood or fluids! It was the surfaces that had been utilised for previous fentanyl use that needed cleaning for saftey purposes. The kitchen bench had traces of fentanyl which could have harmed a regular person. Worrying about the upper walls for drug contamination really is slight overkill as far as the fentanyl contamination is concerned. I'd be more worried about mould spores and such that may have grown in the apartment post mortem.
I was addicted to that stuff for about 8 years. Im clean going on 5 years this July when my daughter turns 5 years old. She saved me. I OD several times from this stuff. I lost many friends to this drug too.
Did this for few years. Worse I came across was mother and son who lived together. Mother passed and son covered her in her bed and went a month. Then son took his own life and another month went by before neighbors noticed. There are few things from that job I’ll never forget.
Also my problem was I couldn’t wear mask because I’m blind without my glasses, so I got the full force of the aurora that literally stays with you for days afterwards.
We lost my two cousins and a close family friend to fentanyl cut heroin 3 months apart. I was addicted to Cocaine and Meth. I've been clean for 17 years. The drugs today are terrifying. You never know what you're actually getting.
So if the victim didn't pass away and just moved out of the unit isn't it scary to think that anybody else walking into the unit could potentially poison themselves with fentanyl.
@@Kris-hj1wn how did the fentanyl get everywhere? addict or not, they could still leave thin “films” of particles all over that would go unnoticed when moving out
? Dude nice demo 👌 you don't think if you use a shop vac it much easier and fast then you using a shovel and a broom well I know you need a broom and dust pan on clean up but just a thought
@@Kobytraphouse i acknowledge that’s the smart thing to do but not everyone does and it could be on the ceiling, in nooks and crannies, etc. no argument here just sharing the possibilities
Celebrated 3 years clean from Oxy yesterday and I am so glad I can say that.... Seeing this video really hits home as a childhood friend of mine died in december of 2020 from a drug overdose and was not found for a few days. Opiates are a nightmare for anyone involved with them and even more for the people who love us and watch helplessly as the opiate consumes our mind, body and soul. I have no intention of ever going back to opiates again but that small voice i hear in the back of my mind scares the hell out of me sometimes..."One pill won't hurt you, go ahead you have been clean for so long, it won't get you hooked if you just do one last time"....Very scary stuff, be safe everyone :(
Wow sounds like the voice that tells me if I take a few drinks at an upcoming wedding I'll be ok, after all its my nieces wedding. It's very scary indeed. And no I won't be drinking any alcohol. 🙏 2 years booze free
I had to say goodbye to a friend of mine who just couldn't stop IV'ing fentanyl after 2yrs of abusing just fentanyl. Some weeks before she died she even had to wear a cage on her head to keep her head from turning after getting an infection on her spine. RIP Michelle. Hope you're not in pain anymore. ❤️
@@justkiddin84 Why thank you. It really is f'd up. I don't get how Philly actually allows a place like Kensington to function how it does. Like something out of the 80's with the crack conspiracy/epidemic.
@@mikeyfn-a6684 It probably is exactly the same. Fentanyl ingredients go to Mexico, they make it, it’s brought here. In or on or with people they are trafficking. The only people who benefit from the ‘war on drugs’ is criminals, and we need to stop all prohibition. Make drugs that are clean, controlled, taxed and from fairly paid farmers.
@@justkiddin84 Truth. It's been shown that the reason people tend to do things like drugs is the same reason kids get excited to try beer. You're told you're not allowed so you're left wondering just what all the fuss is about. But you let people make their own choices and you'll see people don't even care to try things. It's like the brain thinks "oh it's illegal so we're doing something wrong and naughty..hope we don't get caught 😈"
@@mikeyfn-a6684. Where did you get that info from? That s not even a theory. Pp try different drugs st various times for different reasons. The thing about addiction is why can plenty of pp try something a few times and simply walk away and while others are emotionally hooked right from the start. If the physical withdrawal were the only symptom of withdrawal, getting clean would not be as difficult as it is. It s a complex illness.
To my TH-cam peeps who are in recovery: I want you to know that I genuinely respect the journey of self-love and self-care you are on. it takes tremendous courage and ego strength to give that gift to ourselves. I hope to encourage each of you to continue on this path... you are setting a tremendous example to all that no matter what we experience, suffer, we go through, we can make the choice to not just survive, but thrive beyond trauma. You are my heroes.
This sounds like utter horseshit. What the hell is a "family service counselor" and a "cemetery for bereaved families"??? 😂 Sounds like some crap you just made up.
I give a lot of credit to these folks for doing a job that no one wants to do and shouldn’t do due to biohazard issues that is detrimental to your health. these men and women deserve the utmost respect for cleaning up crime scenes. Hats off to to all of them, they are heroes in my book. 🙌🙌👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻
First time seeing the channel! As I’m the general manager of a restoration company and we do cleanup like this as well. I have to say I was very impressed with how through you and your team was! Two 👍👍 for a job well done!!
I am 6 months sober from Fentanyl!! I almost overdosed, but thankfully someone noticed I wasn't breathing, and started CPR, called 911 and they got me some Narcan. And that brought me out of it. I'm so glad that I'm alive and my body fluids aren't being cleaned up by people like this.
Being on drugs is not a life, now you will live. Stay strong and take it once minute,one hour,one day. Before you know it you will be at a new point of life and will find true treasures of living clean. God bless you and keep you safe,you are strong and will keep going. Don't look back,let it all go and focus on this moment
I have no idea how to quot, if I stop I get sick it's been a year since I've had a withdraw I make sure I never felt sick lile that again but I'm going down the wrong road.
This is so much more thorough and deeper than I imagined! This is incredible! So thankful for these guys and others who do this hard work that most people don't realize even takes place.
I been sober 6 years now. I haven’t beat anything ,everyday I stay sober the easier it gets. My son and wife are a huge motivator for me. I’m a combat veteran and was injured overseas and that turned in to a fentanyl and heroin addiction for a long time. I thank god for life everyday. I know that feeling and it’s so sad and lonely.
@@maritzagonzalez1284 ughhh. I just can't do it on my own! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I really am trying my best to stay clean. Ive only relapsed twice in the last 2 hrs but ive now been clean and sober for 12 minutes and........ Scratch that. I relapsed again but ive been clean for 2 minutes and 13 seconds!
I was a poly drug abuser. I went into rehab in 1994 because my gf was pregnant. Every child deserves sober, loving parents. So I was motivated to get clean. In rehab, I was the minority. The vast majority of the men and women there were only there because they got in trouble with the law and were trying to get a reduced sentence. My roommate had just gotten his umpteenth D.U.I. He, of course, survived the crash unscathed. The occupants of the car he hit were not so lucky. A family of four, mom, dad, and two boys not yet ten years old. The dad survived, but was paralyzed from the neck down. Mom and one of the boys died instantly. The surviving boy was, to put it bluntly, mangled. He was in the hospital for almost a year. I kept a lookout for the results of my roommate’s trial. He ended up taking a plea deal that got him fifty odd years in prison. Since he was in his sixties, he’ll never get out.
I cleaned private doc offices and high end homes for many years. I thought cleaning proctologists offices were bad. You guys are rock stars. Doing a job not many could ever do. I salute you and the care you take with those lost, the buildings and loved ones by giving them back the little things that can mean so much. I personally knew 3 people who died from fentanyl and my sone was good friends with a 4th. They died from RX patches of fentanyl. Which in themselves are pure evil. This carfentanil going around is even worse. Far more potent and far more lethal. Stay safe out there everyone. It's just not worth it. And the family and friends are left absolutely shattered. So evil.
Fentanyl patches are used for pain management of terminally ill patients. It’s been around for a long time, long before people started using it illicitly. Fentanyl is not evil, it’s the people who use it to create profits and/or misuse it that gives it a bad rap. Also anyone with a legit prescription of fentanyl patches under a doctor’s supervision would also have been prescribed Narcan.
Lost my boyfriend on 11/15/2016 to an overdose. So many were unaware he had lapsed. I have never done any hard drugs and it was eye opening to learn how frequent this actually occurs. Thank you for all the information, great video!
Sorry for your loss. Lost most my long term friends this way. I overdosed once in Cincinnati on Aug 2016 , from CARfentanyl, 176 people overdosed that weekend just in my little neighborhood.. after 8 hits of narcan and CPR I was brought back.. Lucky for me someone was there. I'm 32 now been keeping dope sickness at bay for 11 years now. Not fun. Peace and prosperity and RIP to them.
Seeing how clean and organized the condo was is a tragic reminder that anyone can become addicted and taken away. Addiction knows no age, gender, status, or ethnicity. My grandma was the only one in her family who lived a sober life; her parents and siblings abused pills or drank themselves to an early grave. I'm proud of all of you who are beginning your sobriety journey, and for those who have been sober for years, stay strong. 👏
What an incredible wake-up call and a tragic reminder for all of us in recovery. I'm a survivor from the streets of Kensington in Philadelphia and just celebrated 6 months clean thanks to methadone maintenance, NA meetings, rehab and a recovery house. I am now in my own subsidized apartment, after struggling to get clean for nearly a _decade_ with no success. White-knuckling it did not work, Suboxone did not work, MMT was the magic formula for me.
@@dreamteamtokyo- yeah, in the same way as a diabetic is stuck on insulin or your espresso depresso brain is stuck on mood stabilizers. Treatment for addiction is most often lifelong, and there's less-than nothing wrong with that. At least OP is alive, off the street and here to tell the tale. Take your judgement and shove it... people like you are disgusting for shitting on people trying to cope with chemical rewiring of their brains as best as they can. Do some research before you get on the internet being SO loud and yet SO wrong.
The police contacted my dad to make sure none of us kids would use our keys when my mum took her own life by cutting her throat, because at first it was a crime scene and then they sent a clean up crew. RIP Mum 🙏🌹❤️ it doesn't get easier, we just adapt to live with the heartbreak, we think about you every day.
When I first graduated high school, I was set on becoming a Forensic Pathologist and was even allowed to personally experience a few autopsies. Life happened and I ended up dropping out of school but seeing these videos always brings me Nostalgia. It's like we are all putting together the pieces that death creates. 💓
watching this on the 1 year anniversary of my friends passing from an overdose. he was 24 💔 he had so much more to live for and so much love left to give. miss you, ethan.
I saw one of your trucks in my neighborhood a couple weeks ago and I first I was like. 'Oh cool, i watch all their vids on youtube.' And then my brain said 'Oh crap, theres probably not something good in there'
You know this is hard work that most aren't willing to do. The fact you took such care of even that chain with bio-hazard on it just shows you have a heart of gold, thinking of the victims family.
I love watching your videos, I've always wanted to do crime scene clean-up, but idk if I could deal with knowing it was a child or an elderly person they tug at my heart strings more than anyone else. But I love love love what yall do.
I could probably deal with elderly people best, since they're like. Old. Old people tend to die. And they've lived out a long life, so there's less wasted potential than with a child or a young adult
I just wanna say how amazing it is that so many people in these comments got clean from fentynal. Addiction is hard to beat and fentynal is incredibly addictive. I’m so proud of those that made it through and I am rooting for those that are still struggling
Fun fact, kitty litter is pretty good for pure acid spills too! Granted, baking soda works the best, but if you don't have that, kitty litter does pretty good.
Definitely a job overlooked. In my opinion y'all deserve to be classified in the heroes category for sure. The amount of danger you put yourself in alone just to clean up the unimaginable is incredibly heroic.
I didn't know that this was a profession. I want to tell you folks thank you for doing this job. You folks are very helpful and kind. God bless all of you for taking this responsibility.
I watched that movie and still became an addict. Just really gotta watch who they are around. Its always caused by influence the first time. Even if you think the will power is strong.. Nobody goes and buys it alone at free will. Its always from a “friend” 😓 and when complete euphoria is offered to you in a tiny plastic bag, chances are an angsty, stressed out young person will accept that offer. 🥺
i think being more informative and factual with the kids about drugs and the dangers would help them understand it more and why its bad instead of "scaring them straight" (not hating!)
Show them. KIMGARY..OR MORALS OVER MONEY channels. Its kennsington PA. Let them see people strung out littering the streets. Homeless.. if that doesn't scare them away nothing will
A few things: 1) Thank you guys for what you do, and the compassion that you do it with. 2) Fentanyl is TERRIFYING for how deadly it is in such tiny amounts, and 3) I'm really impressed at how well the cat litter absorbs and helps clean up the blood!
I was on fentanyl patches during chemo. I had never taken pain meds before my cancer diagnosis so I had no idea about fentanyl. I had to take a class on it along with the subsys that is taken along side of it. It wasn’t until my best friend who was a pharmacist at the time, told me how dangerous it was. This was before it had really become an issue in the US. I’m so thankful I got away from it! Scary how dangerous it is.
The patches are safe & cancer is what they are prescribed for. What is going on is illegal drug manufacturers are putting it in street drugs because it’s cheaper to make & it kills people because they dosages are all inconsistent.
Yea I was put on high dose fentanyl patches for pain back in the early 2000's, I was 18 years old and to this day I'm still dependent on opiates, it makes it so much harder to stop them when you are suffering with a rare illness and in agony but on the other hand the side effects are just as bad, I really can't see a way out.
I had a patient several years ago whom used fentanyl patches way before it was as wide known as it is now. One day during med pass, I noticed she was very lethargic, almost non-responsive, lips were cyanotic, shallow breathing and she was cold and clammy. I checked her chest where her fentanyl patch would usually be and didn’t see anything. Something told me to roll her over and that’s when I found two fentanyl patches on her upper back. Gave her Narcan and she snapped right back but yes, fentanyl is dangerous asf. If it’s that dangerous under medical supervision, imagine how much so when someone is using it illicitly.
This is exactly why just anyone should never clean up decomp! How would you like to rent this apartment cleaned by their maintenance people? Have your baby or and kids play on the floor?
Omg , I never once thought of that!!! Are places legally supposed to have guys like this clean after a death like this in a unit? Because if not you know mantaince wouldn't do this . It's super scary as hell to think of renting a place that could have blood and decomp right under the flooring, baseboards, and walls.........🤔🤢🤮😵🤯😱😱😱
My friend died on May 4th this year. He had recently developed a skin disorder, no health insurance and because it would crack and bleed he couldn't do much besides lay in bed for the last 2 months. When I learned this I sent him some money so he could buy some cream and I begged him to go back to the ER as they blew him off the first time back in February, instead he used the cream and felt better but he was back in pain a few days later. He bought himself 2 light blue 30mg percs and it turns out they were straight fentanyl. He didn't know and he passed out, stopped breathing and now my 30yo friend who rarely did drugs is gone forever. He was a solid dude, you could leave your wallet next to him and leave for an hour, he'd never touch it. Our border is WIDE OPEN!! It's not helping matters!!!!
Thank you for educating people about the dangers of Fentanyl. And for educating everyone about decontamination. It's incredibly interesting and important work!
What scares me the most is how "normal" this condo looks. One would associate an OD to a very disturbed and helpless person. Such as trashed filled rooms and no intention to better ones life. This drug epidemic is very serious. Oh my.
This comment right here 🙄 SERIOUSLY! That's a huge part of the problem!! Got news for you this very drug is being consumed by judge's lawyers doctors etc drugs are not picky it will has and dam sure does effect many and all walks of life ! Obviously you are clearly a typical finger pointing judgmental person pointing at all the so called street people and those you assume live in dirty places talking about them as they are nothing assuming THOSE ppl must be drug addicts since it only is used by THOSE kind of ppl lol WOW a messy home dam sure don't mean their drug addicts and that's a very VERY ignorant remark to make !!Your mentality is infuriating and absolutely ZERO to be proud of 😠
There are some addicts who can use and it doesn't affect their daily life that much but usually it will eventually come crashing down when it becomes more important than everything else :( And the person here may have also gotten a different drug and it was laced..
@@harrypottah8889 What I don't understand, yet & still, is why people think they have the position to thank others for shit they weren't involved in. Same idiots that say "sorry" for instances they had no control over. Tired of the fake pity, now you know.
I’ve been clean for 3 years. Now I watch things like this & intervention, so I never forget how lucky I am to still be here today, after multiple OD’s.
This is just sad. I lost a niece two yrs ago to Fentenayl, and my ex son-in-law just two weeks ago. My 14 yr old grandson is shattered to have lost his dad so soon. Bless you people that clean this up.
@hereforthecomments5503 Thank you much 🙏 aside from having my kiddos it's the best thing I've done for myself! I tried getting clean for everyone but myself and it never worked until I done it for me ❤️
Be careful out there y'all, especially my fellow Floridians. My good friend just overdosed and fentanyl. It was laced in his weed. Absolutely disgusting. Be safe you guys
I have been around a long time and I have NEVER known of anybody lacing weed with fentanyl and selling it “ just because “ to someone unknowingly. That’s probably not accurate. It doesn’t make sense . I remember de rolling acid and then telling my mom someone put it in my drink when I started freaking out.
Fentynol is a serious growing problem where I live here in St.Thomas, Ontario, Canada. I work at a homeless shelter and I've lost many friends to this drug and know many more who are addicted to it. I hope and pray that this ends. I truly respect what you all do. God bless

So sad, the fridge actually looked pretty healthy compared to other fridges I’ve seen in my youth, they probably had a long life ahead of them :( . Drugs are a scary thing man. Praying for those who are struggling
I’m a Jeweller and I think you would benefit from having a jewellers soft brass brush instead of that stiff wire brush to clean objects like the keys and chain. Thank you for an enlightening video!
I thought so too! Scratching the hell out of what MAYBE a family heirloom or a very special item of the deceased person! OFTEN jewellery is treasured from a deceased loved one! Unprofessional COWBOYS! Hopefully anyone reading these comments is considering hiring these morons! And won’t because of their behaviour and lack of knowledge and respect!
most properties owners reach out to homeowners insurance. Legitimate companies will come in first to do a walk-through and photograph all items all work that needs to be done,work orders typed out for technicians going out.This would have went in a Disposable bowl ( chain)with hospital grade disinfectant Soaked while cleaning the floor at the end of the job it is inventoried photoed and documented at the company all disinfected items of sentimental value are placed in a personal box that is given to the family or next of kin and explain what was done to it and what’s in there. I did crime scene cleanup for a very reputable company that works for AAA and other insurance based companies I was also an office coordinator but I preferred to be out in the field doing the work you pretty much get to see what it looks like before you actually get there because the project manager goes out to document everything and pretty much walks you through pictures on the computer as to what needs to be done so you get a work order and you pretty much know what you need to do when you get there the only time we had to stop a job is when I had one particular job where a person was murdered and the bullet went through their head and it was left behind in the subfloor when I was pulling up the carpet. Forensic police technicians have to come out again and it stalls the work for us.
@@cassbarker1966 they were more concerned about getting a deadly and toxic drug off of it, Karen, than possibly scratching it. Yeah let's hand it back over to the family with a deadly drug on it that killed their family member. The fact they even kept it and cleaned it rather than just throwing it out is the respect you so desperately want. They're doing a job that people like you probably wouldn't yourselves. They meticulously to over everything to keep it safe not pretty.
Proud of everyone sharing their sobriety story in the comments it helps so much! I saw a deceased person who had overdosed in my neighborhood recently and it broke my heart 💔
honestly if I was still in the throws of that stuff gripping me with everything it had I would have lined that powder up that was left on the table....glad that phase is behind me and hope I keep the willpower to keep it gone
I love these types of videos because it's a good reminder to my self what my parents would have to go through if I were to end my life thanks for reminding me to keep going

Drinking alcohol is drinking alcohol so truly or whatever you dumped down the drain is non alcoholic.. I don't get it.. so they were fine to drive if they drank a 12pk.. just wondering bc I never heard of that name
Could you please tell me what the fogger
does and what you are spraying?.
Y'all are very DISRESPECTFUL for going thru his personal things. Why would y'all open his refrigerator "WITH CONTAMINATED GLOVES ON" and display to us what's in his fridge and cabinets? You guys need to be mindful of their families bcuz your videos go viral and they could be seeing this. Death is very sensitive and when you're love one dies you wanna know that they we're at least treated with respect REGARDLESS of how they died. And I don't buy this drug overdose y'all keep specifying, bcuz WHY IS THERE SOOOO MUCH BLOOD? But besides that, I just think y'all should be a little more RESPECTFUL and empathetic when you're cleaning up DEATH.
Fentanyl cannot be absorbed through the skin. Please do your research before broadcasting dangerous misinformation that could cost someone that is overdosing their life.
Sincerely, an IV heroin/fentany addict in recovery.
@@godisrealgodislove7767 there is blood because he decomposed and when that happens the skin breaks down and contents of the body ooze out. It looks like a murder but everyone decompose like that unless they are cremated or embalmed right away.
Im a funeral director, and I would like to thank cleaners. Cleaning is a grossly overlooked necessity that helps the family move on and learn to live with their loss. ❤
I have a question how can I write u private
Agreed. I don’t even know how my grandfathers death was handled, he took his life using a shotgun and I know after authorities left the scene my dad and my cousin started clean up - but everything had to get thrown out.
My mom doesn’t know, but my grandmother has one of my grandfathers pillow cases still (no biomaterial got on it), and my grandmother has it hidden by her bed.
I cleaned her room this summer and stumbled upon it, and it smelled like him and I knew exactly why she kept it. I folded it nicely and put it back hidden. She said some nights it feels like he’s sitting at the bottom of her bed 😭
@@GardeninGrace I am so sorry for your family's tragedy. It's awful and dangerous that your father and cousin had to clean up the aftermath.
@@adelerodriguez2432 I highly doubt the police would let family clean the house without getting the ppl that were in this video

Great job bro keep up the great work

Hi Scot. Thank you for sharing. We commend you on your bravery. Would you be interested in sharing your story with us? We would love to interview you as a resource for our blog content and/or podcast, Talking Decon.
Extremely grateful that i was given, and took, the opportunity to get clean when i did. Coming up on 19 years.
You did amazing. Really proud of you!! Keep going! :))))
Good on you, stay healthy and keep pushin :))
Congratulations, bitch. Keep up the grind.
Good job!!! You got this!!! 19 yrs you go girl!!!
Very well Nicole! If I knew you... I'd give you the biggest warmest hug!
almost 14 yrs in sobriety: everything i lost, i got it back and then some. recovery has given me a successful career, happy marriage, beautiful home, and 2 precious daughters. the message is hope and the promise is freedom
so wonderful to hear this stories of recovery..congratulations!
I’m so freaking proud of you ❤❤❤ 2 years here 😊
This absolutely breaks my heart but also woke my butt up I am 54 days clean from fentanyl I am praying for everyone who still suffering with this addiction and the families of everyone who has lost due to fentanyl
I hope you’re still doing well dear❤
Congratulations on 54 clean days!! Way to go! Hope you have a awesome support team in your corner, Wishing you all the best! Blessings!
Hope you’re doing okay! I know it’s so hard
Hopefully this is a wake up call. How can you be so fucking stupid to actually do that shit
I’m happy for you we do not want to see you in these videos. Stay strong.
I remember after my step father shot himself , the cops leaving the mess behind , and my neighbor who was a nurse offered to clean it for us .. we didn't have the cleaning crew ..and we probably would not have been able to afford it either ..I still remember when she came to me , and told me to leave the door unlocked for her .. I'll never forget her kindness..
It is admirable that they meticulously clean the personal effects of the deceased so that the family can have them back without any traces of the tragedy that took place.
exactly my thoughts. It's more than just cleaning. It's helping the families move on from such tragedies. God bless
Yes, it is. I got my son's necklace in a biohazard bag. 😢

Amen
Yeah its annoy me when people Say they are lying and want attention or like sometime you just want to share your experience and help others ...
Clean 33 yrs
Thank you 😊

To those who commented that they got clean; I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you…
ABSOLUTELY!! 👏👏👏👍👍 I pray that God continues to bless them all!!🥰🥰🥰
I too am glad they got clean, but I wish they hadn’t been tempted to use illegal drugs in the first place, I can’t remember where I heard this line/saying but “once an addict, always an addict, being clean just means your an addict that isn’t using” same applies to alcoholism🍺.
@@allandavis8201 umm not true because I stopped drinking and using drugs for over 10 years now and I haven't touched it since !!! I'm not an addict haven't even the desire to also GOD has played a big MAJOR PART OF IT ALL AND I GIVE ALL THE GLORY AND PRAISE TO HIM BECAUSE IF IT WEREN'T FOR GOD WHO KNOWS WHERE IS BE PROBABLY DEAD!! But that once an addict always an addict is TOTALLY FALSE!!!
I've been clean over 12 years 🙏🙏
@@kweaver1965 My brother had to go through alcohol rehab and then to AA. He always called himself an alcoholic. He finally got right with the Lord and I told him, you're not an alcoholic anymore, Jesus removed the addiction. He agreed. He's a Methodist Pastor today and that was over 30 years ago.
I believe if one keeps calling themselves an addict, it undermines what did Jesus did for them.
5 years clean and counting!! Woop woop!!! For those of you who uave also been staying clean,I'm so proud of you!! I know how hard it is! Everyday is a success!!! Let's keep it going!!!
Great to hear! Keep it up!!!
im really proud of you! keep it up! :)
That’s a truly great Accomplishment, be proud of yourself! I’m proud of you. How did you stop, get clean?
Keep it up:)
Proud of you ❤
I’m an officer who has worked on deceased persons who have decomped and the smell is nothing compared to anything I’ve ever smelled before… the smell took 2-3 days to leave my nose and I couldn’t eat for a whole day due to feeling like I was tasting the smell… it’s a very sad thing and God bless everyone who have been working hard to keep a clean lifestyle ❤️
Oh gosh that’s horrible! Thank you for how you serve your community!
I have worked in a couple of houses like that. You are right about that smell.. Couldn't imagine doing it every day.
I've smelt it once and not in a way that involves being in a work environment that exposes you to it.
My grandfather passed away last year. I live in South Africa and there were two problems with this scenario. Firstly, he lived in a small mining town very far from any hospital. He passed in a hospital 2 hours away from our hometown and ultimately where he'd be laid to rest. Secondly, we were in a severe stage of power cuts nationwide. At that stage we experienced 6 hours of outages in intervals per day.
On the day of his funeral, I wanted to see him one last time. The funeral director made sure we were in a private area as she proceeded to screw open the coffin. With the coffin opening, a smell came out. I have never smelt anything like it and it made me feel sick. It is the kind of smell that sticks with you. Unfortunately, now when I think of my Oupa, the first thing that comes to mind is his unrecognisable pale face and that smell.
I will never request to say goodbye again.
@@irmafouche3735I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Almost same as I did. It really is a special smell that is hard to forget.
If they didn’t warn you about it before agreeing to show you then that’s very horrible of them.
Big healing hug 🌸
Same, I've had to throw out uniforms and shoes that I just couldn't get the smell out of. I'd put Vicks up my nose for days so that's all I'd smell. Going home after those incidents was rough, taking my clothes off in the garage and walking through the house in my bra and underwear told my family how my day had gone. Straight to the shower, and no matter how much scrubbing and hot water I used, I still smelled it, hence the Vicks. I'd ask my BF if he could smell anything on me after I got cleaned up and he never did, but I sure did! Once in a while I could save my uniform but mostly not.
I did this for almost seven months and I was more depressed than I had ever been... Had to quite soon after. I have nothing but respect for people who do this. This job is so much hard work, physically, mentally and emotionally. I work overnight maintenance at Walmart now and people wonder why I clean so well.....
Hope you got paid handsomely.
It's one of those jobs that's not for everyone. I can handle the bio and contamination. The physical labor. Knowing why I'm doing it would get to me pretty fast.
At least u got something positive out of it. Better cleaning skills
The whole time I'd prolly just have it in my head how I literally clean up other people's eff ups for a living and how the decedent's stupidity astounds me.
@@shar159 it's probably opposite for me. I hate cleaning but the thought that this was at one point a living person I could handle, I was wanting to kind of do this but I then realised that is pretty much cleaning and I figured that I could be an embalmer. I think that could actually be quite interesting.
I started watching these videos so long ago, like years, and now I am a crimescene cleaner myself here in Melbourne Australia!
I would love to know how to also get into this type of cleaning l've got 30yrs experience in the cleaning industry l also completed a course in bio cleaning to be a registered technician, just have had no luck finding a business or company that needs my skills. Also Melbourne Australia...
How much is the pay?
How do you become a forensic cleaner
Sorry to hear that , hopefully you can find something else soon
@@johnboy4067 why is that a sorry lmao
PLEASE stay away from drugs. I got hooked on pain pills and it was an absolute nightmare. I almost lost everything. I am so thankful that I had a husband who believed in me and wanted us to be together. So many things led to me getting hooked on drugs, but therapy has made such a difference. I got clean in 2013 and went back to college in 2014. I had a 3 year old and an 8 year old, so college was tough, but I was so happy. I graduated in 2019, and I just completed my first year of teaching!!! My husband and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, and our children are now 11 and 16, and are happy, well rounded kids. If you are addicted and feeling like you’ll never be free, please hear me. YOU CAN GET BETTER! You deserve to be well, healthy, and happy. Please get help.
Absolutely and it happens to the best of us! I remember 16-17 years ago being so stupid to think people purposely got addicted to opioids.... Then I started having surgery after surgery after surgery in my late teens and early 20's. I remember getting pain pills prescribed to me like candy and we aren't talking just hydrocodone 5s lol! I remember thinking, I will stick to exactly what the bottle says and I'll be just fine! Yep, that started my miserable downfall that I never thought I could pick myself up from... But I did nearly 6 years ago with the help of methadone maintenance! Addiction can happen to anybody and much quicker than I ever would have imagined!
Our stories are so similar. I too became hooked to pain pills and almost lost everything. I still struggle with pain and weight gain but anything is better than the feeling of withdrawal and being broke all the time! Good for you for getting your life together!
@@fatbottombiker3038 I am happy to hear you are doing better but bummed that you are struggling with pain :( My chronic pain (mostly from all those surgeries that caused major nerve damage plus the same health issues I've always needed the surgeries for) is the reason methadone maintenance was the only option for me. Over the years, I'd fight like hell to get past the withdrawal stage and then a month or two later right back to surgery and right back on pain meds. It was a never ending hell cycle. I'd work to buy pain meds to be able to work to buy more pain meds... that is not living! Methadone is the only thing that has ever touched my pain for more than maybe an hour and I was on some very strong stuff that could have killed many horses per day lol! I now feel like a normal person in their mid 30's should and not miserable in pain daily or high as a kite!
@@fatbottombiker3038 Sorry for writing another book- methadone does tend to make me quite chatty 🤣
It happens so easily to so many ppl. Thank goodness youve recovered!
I also used to be a fentanyl addict. Now I work for a coroners office and see this type of stuff everyday. I just transport no cleaning or . I just help the coroners pick up the decedent wherever they may be. I salute you guys for what you do.
This channel has really made me get my Heath together. I don't have drug issues - but the idea of being scraped off the floor with cat litter because of something I could prevent or improve on - just chills me to the bone.
Honestly.
This is horrifying.
Holy Christ:
Gave me the chills too
@@ellenherstead1343 like no joke seriously - I've been watching and making changes. This one though really hit me. The visual and the idea I could be soaked up in kitty litter and swept up in a dust pan... 👀
Freaked me out!! Gees.
in this essence suicide (although don't condone) kinda makes sense in having control over your destiny,,,,no?
Yep, me too! I put on a lot of weight after I fell into a depression after my dad died. The idea of being really fat AND melting into the floor absolutely horrifies me.
I'm now losing weight.
Omg. This hits home! I saw my husband od right in front of me and it took three narcans to save him. We both used but he was intravenous user...I watch him slip off his chair and he became purple on his face and neck...rushed to open the life saving Narcan...I waited, nothing! I did 3 of them to see his chest finally start slowly move. It was the worst experience ever but we didn't stop until a month after that. It's been over a year and we are still both clean. We work on ourselves every day...we got our kids back...life makes sense again. This video has made me realize this could have been us. I hate this disease and what it does to people. It doesn't discriminate , it takes anyone...
I'm so sorry you went through that with your husband. I can't imagine the dedication and strength it must have taken for the two of you to get clean and bring your kids back home. I lost a cousin to an OD, he was only 36. Such a bright, pleasant young man. I'm so glad you got another chance. I hope you and your family have a beautiful future ahead of you. God bless you.

You don't buy a disease. Call it what it is...addiction. This you do to yourself.
How is it a disease if you chose to do it? I’m not trying to start a fight I’m genuinely asking. My dad died from cancer that is a disease he didn’t choose to get cancer. Drug users choose. So what? Also I’m 15 I’m genuinely confused.
I was addicted to fentanyl from 2007 to 2014 I wore two 75mg at once. This started after a twenty yr opiate pill addiction, to hear now how many people are dying today from it is mind blowing to me and makes me thankful I'm still here.

It's the smallest thing, but seeing the drinks go down the drain saddened me so much. This person was just living their life, and then was gone. Bought some drinks for their evenings, had their keys out cause they go out and about like we all do, and then one wrong choice took them away. Such a shame. I hope the family is in the best place they can be right now.
i know!! it’s insane to see the little details of what they liked, and then see their blood being cleaned up with kitty litter

@@svtkilr I was wondering that also??
@@svtkilr
Decomp.
That wasn't just "blood", their body over time was breaking down and that liquid you see is their body fluid from decomposition. In Florida bodies generally tend to decomposition differently and more quickly due to the heat and weather. This wasn't a suicide, or a murder, just an unfortunate OD accident and tragedy.

I lost my son to heroin/fentanyl overdose on Jan 3,2022 he was just 1 month short of turning 24. Very sad to see this kind of stuff going on in the US. He got addicted to pain pills first.
I have one of the top comments to this video... i posted that comment at 48 days clean.. through support and emotional intelegence im proud to say i now have over a year clean. Absolutely incredible.
The only fentanyl fact needed here….. if you continue to use it, a company like this will have to come clean up your bodily fluids!!!!
not everyone knows that it's been added to their drugs
dealers use it to cut drugs. a lot of people don’t know it’s in their pills or coke until it’s too late
Oh well gotta die someday
@@patti6178 Thats why people shouldn't do drugs period. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Natural selection at its finest.

I lost my 22 year old son to fentanyl & carafentanyl poisoning in 2016. I now have custody of his only son who was his pride & joy. This is such a horrific epidemic, my prayers to any other families going through this 🙏🏼💔
My condolences for the loss of your son. Every parent's nightmare coming true far too often.
@@Rox1SMF yes it is & my poor grandson was 4 when he lost his daddy & September he lost his mom before his 10th birthday. My son had high amounts of both fentanyl & carafentanyl in his system. My only peace is knowing he didn’t suffer 💔😭
Sorry for your loss. I was born in 1989 first time and only time I overdosed was on CARfentanyl, in Cincinnati in August 2016. They did CPR to bring me back, 8 hits of narcan is all they could give and it wasn't working on its own. I dont have any friends from childhood that made it past 30, most past before they were 25. RIP to them And your son. Peace and prosperity.
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your lost 😢 I know so many people that had died from drug overdose, but the sad thing is the doctors were giving their patients pain medication, now this is the people that passed away, so the government stepped in and doctors were afraid, they knocked them down slowly or refused to give them anything, so that's why fentanyl and meth got big.
I know that it's been around forever but it got worse since the government stepped in.
I just wish there was a miracle pill to help addiction 🙏
I helped clean up after my friend's mother ended her own life. It was not an easy sight, but it was the smallest bit of service I could do to help my friend through the hard times. Thanks for the work you all do. It's not easy, but is absolutely vital to those in need.
Thank you for helping even tho you didnt have to. That was very nice of you! You're a good friend!
in case no one’s told you, thank you for helping your friend out. srsly that’s so kind of you. not many people would’ve done that but you’re truly a true friend
Sadly it’s a job nobody wants to do but it’s absolutely necessary especially after a tragedy
That was an act of grace and love. You are a great friend!
I too cleaned up what was left of my best friend, so his family didn't have to experience the trauma.
He killed himself laying on the couch with a gun, so mostly the couch and the dog covered in him
As a substance use counselor, I see the struggle everyday. Two of the things I try to drill in most is that the individual is NOT the addiction! You are not an "addict," you are a whole person with a chemical dependency. And there is a 99.99% chance that you do not acknowledge all the small, difficult steps it takes (took) to be free. Stop. Reflect. Acknowledge. Celebrate. You. The world is more fuller and richer with you in it!
I wanna get clean. Tired of circling the drain. How would you suggest I begin that process?
I lost a friend of mine cause of Fentanyl. He was a great dude and always happy. He died while sleeping, his dad found him. May his soul rest in peace.
Exactly the same thing for me here in England, except the pill he took was laced with Fentanyl; his dad found him also.
Same happened to my friend. Rest easy Jared ❤

Man, looking around this apartment, I can tell this person was 20s or early 30s, very close to my age. Looking at the decor and how new the apartment is and the fact that the apartment was somewhat clean tells me this person cared about themselves and really made a horrific mistake. I'm thinking maybe the guy(the bachelor) and his friend or even girlfriend were thinking they were buying cocaine and now they're a decomposed bloody mess all over the floor, all semblance of who they were just a week before they died basically gone, rotting. Absolutely horrific. I can't help but look at the furniture that was clearly purchased at Ikea and Target and humanize this person, I imagine them shopping and decorating this apartment, sitting and watching that TV there on their couch, opening a Truly and just living like the rest of us. I find this so horrifying. I just want all of this to stop. No more overdoses, no more people decomposing for days or weeks before anyone knows they're dead, no more suicides. It's so tragic. Life is unforgiving.
I respect the people that do this so much. Thank you so much for helping people through this. It's astounding that you all can stand it and do it compassionately to boot. Watching these videos makes me think we all need to be a little nicer to one another.
hahaha you've obviously never been around hard drugs with that comment about buying fent on accident thinking it was coke... no dealer would ever sell fent to a newbie like that under the guise of coke. just think about it why kill off your customer base when you could sell them real coke and they come back later to buy more another time.
what we need to do is legalize all drugs so when ppl want to buy coke or XTC or whatever you know its the real thing... do you ever wonder if that beer or whiskey you buy at the bar or liquor store is real and not made by someone in their bathtub? no because its a regulated drug that has tons of saftey measures to prevent you from going blind off on3 shot... but hey im just advocating for 5y/os to have access to fentanyl right?!
@@liltreefort2804 you're right I don't do drugs so I'm not an expert but apparently you aren't either because the stats don't support any of that diatribe you left here
@@TheLocalEccentric why dont you point out where im wrong instead of just saying your wrong?
go look at portugals drug legalization and come back to me?
nowhere did i say i was an expert but hey run with that since you think your all that and a bag of chips but yes i have bought cocaine/meth/lsd/xtc/weed numerous times in the last 5 years and none i repeat NONE of those dealers EVER sold fent to me or ever even had fent for sale... my coke dealer flat out told me he wouldnt touch that shit w a 1000 ft pole... so yeah i think maybe just a little bit i might know what im talking about lol diatribe shut your nerdy goofy ass up
I agree, that apartment looks just like mine. Doesn’t seem like a hardcore addict, just someone that really messed up
@@thomaswilliams6677 it only takes 1x to make a death occurrence. Just one mistake

If not, there's no telling what people who would enter a location at a later time could be at risk of being exposed to.
It looks like you guys do a very thorough job.
Completely overkill as fentanyl isn't going to be on any surface other than where it was put at to ingest.
@@pamelamorris3148 are you a crime scene cleaner? Blood can get everywhere. And you don't know what other things that person was exposed to. Thwy have to clean everything. So your idea of overkill can be routine for someone else. Who's probably been doing it for years
@@wednesdayaddams1473 it isn't the body-decomp that is being cleaned up carefully for fear of fentanyl contamination!
You are not going to overdose on fentanyl from contact with an overdosed corpse's blood or fluids! It was the surfaces that had been utilised for previous fentanyl use that needed cleaning for saftey purposes. The kitchen bench had traces of fentanyl which could have harmed a regular person.
Worrying about the upper walls for drug contamination really is slight overkill as far as the fentanyl contamination is concerned. I'd be more worried about mould spores and such that may have grown in the apartment post mortem.
Ithink, Iam¿? If the rent was less than $800/month, would you take it? -I mean after the Hazmat cleaning?
@@pamelamorris3148 Oh so you’re the expert now. Well we’re glad that you don’t work there because you would do a half assed job
I was addicted to that stuff for about 8 years. Im clean going on 5 years this July when my daughter turns 5 years old. She saved me. I OD several times from this stuff. I lost many friends to this drug too.
Well done on beating your addiction to this evil drug. So happy for you and your daughter, keep up the good work ❤️
Wow, good for you! That couldn’t have been easy.
Keep clean for your daughter 🤍
Congratulations on your sobriety!
How can you be addicted if a tiny grain is lethal?
This isn’t just cleaning-this is above and beyond. Thankful for these people!
Did this for few years. Worse I came across was mother and son who lived together. Mother passed and son covered her in her bed and went a month. Then son took his own life and another month went by before neighbors noticed. There are few things from that job I’ll never forget.
Would you recommend doing this job or not really?
Also my problem was I couldn’t wear mask because I’m blind without my glasses, so I got the full force of the aurora that literally stays with you for days afterwards.
@@kyleyork6811 that doesn't sound right, how would they let you clean up a dead decomposing body (a literal biohazard) with no mask on??

So if the victim didn't pass away and just moved out of the unit isn't it scary to think that anybody else walking into the unit could potentially poison themselves with fentanyl.

Celebrated 3 years clean from Oxy yesterday and I am so glad I can say that.... Seeing this video really hits home as a childhood friend of mine died in december of 2020 from a drug overdose and was not found for a few days. Opiates are a nightmare for anyone involved with them and even more for the people who love us and watch helplessly as the opiate consumes our mind, body and soul. I have no intention of ever going back to opiates again but that small voice i hear in the back of my mind scares the hell out of me sometimes..."One pill won't hurt you, go ahead you have been clean for so long, it won't get you hooked if you just do one last time"....Very scary stuff, be safe everyone :(

@@justkiddin84 Why thank you. It really is f'd up. I don't get how Philly actually allows a place like Kensington to function how it does. Like something out of the 80's with the crack conspiracy/epidemic.
@@mikeyfn-a6684 It probably is exactly the same. Fentanyl ingredients go to Mexico, they make it, it’s brought here. In or on or with people they are trafficking. The only people who benefit from the ‘war on drugs’ is criminals, and we need to stop all prohibition. Make drugs that are clean, controlled, taxed and from fairly paid farmers.
@@justkiddin84 Truth. It's been shown that the reason people tend to do things like drugs is the same reason kids get excited to try beer. You're told you're not allowed so you're left wondering just what all the fuss is about. But you let people make their own choices and you'll see people don't even care to try things. It's like the brain thinks "oh it's illegal so we're doing something wrong and naughty..hope we don't get caught 😈"
@@mikeyfn-a6684. Where did you get that info from? That s not even a theory. Pp try different drugs st various times for different reasons. The thing about addiction is why can plenty of pp try something a few times and simply walk away and while others are emotionally hooked right from the start. If the physical withdrawal were the only symptom of withdrawal, getting clean would not be as difficult as it is. It s a complex illness.
To my TH-cam peeps who are in recovery: I want you to know that I genuinely respect the journey of self-love and self-care you are on. it takes tremendous courage and ego strength to give that gift to ourselves. I hope to encourage each of you to continue on this path... you are setting a tremendous example to all that no matter what we experience, suffer, we go through, we can make the choice to not just survive, but thrive beyond trauma.

Ive been struggling with dope... Ive been clean for 1 minute and 17 seconds though.
I was a poly drug abuser. I went into rehab in 1994 because my gf was pregnant. Every child deserves sober, loving parents. So I was motivated to get clean. In rehab, I was the minority. The vast majority of the men and women there were only there because they got in trouble with the law and were trying to get a reduced sentence. My roommate had just gotten his umpteenth D.U.I. He, of course, survived the crash unscathed. The occupants of the car he hit were not so lucky. A family of four, mom, dad, and two boys not yet ten years old. The dad survived, but was paralyzed from the neck down. Mom and one of the boys died instantly. The surviving boy was, to put it bluntly, mangled. He was in the hospital for almost a year. I kept a lookout for the results of my roommate’s trial. He ended up taking a plea deal that got him fifty odd years in prison. Since he was in his sixties, he’ll never get out.
I cleaned private doc offices and high end homes for many years. I thought cleaning proctologists offices were bad. You guys are rock stars. Doing a job not many could ever do. I salute you and the care you take with those lost, the buildings and loved ones by giving them back the little things that can mean so much. I personally knew 3 people who died from fentanyl and my sone was good friends with a 4th. They died from RX patches of fentanyl. Which in themselves are pure evil. This carfentanil going around is even worse. Far more potent and far more lethal. Stay safe out there everyone. It's just not worth it. And the family and friends are left absolutely shattered. So evil.
Hi how are you
👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Do Proctologists throw shit everywhere? How could cleaning a doctor's office be that bad? They clean up after everything they do.
Fentanyl patches are used for pain management of terminally ill patients. It’s been around for a long time, long before people started using it illicitly. Fentanyl is not evil, it’s the people who use it to create profits and/or misuse it that gives it a bad rap. Also anyone with a legit prescription of fentanyl patches under a doctor’s supervision would also have been prescribed Narcan.
Thank you to the cleaners. Cleaning up after this mess is so hazardous and is often overlooked and under appreciated.

Seeing how clean and organized the condo was is a tragic reminder that anyone can become addicted and taken away. Addiction knows no age, gender, status, or ethnicity. My grandma was the only one in her family who lived a sober life; her parents and siblings abused pills or drank themselves to an early grave. I'm proud of all of you who are beginning your sobriety journey, and for those who have been sober for years, stay strong. 👏
What an incredible wake-up call and a tragic reminder for all of us in recovery. I'm a survivor from the streets of Kensington in Philadelphia and just celebrated 6 months clean thanks to methadone maintenance, NA meetings, rehab and a recovery house. I am now in my own subsidized apartment, after struggling to get clean for nearly a _decade_ with no success. White-knuckling it did not work, Suboxone did not work, MMT was the magic formula for me.
so now ur stuck on methadone? Which is synthetic opioid??
@@dreamteamtokyo- yeah, in the same way as a diabetic is stuck on insulin or your espresso depresso brain is stuck on mood stabilizers. Treatment for addiction is most often lifelong, and there's less-than nothing wrong with that. At least OP is alive, off the street and here to tell the tale. Take your judgement and shove it... people like you are disgusting for shitting on people trying to cope with chemical rewiring of their brains as best as they can. Do some research before you get on the internet being SO loud and yet SO wrong.

I could probably deal with elderly people best, since they're like. Old. Old people tend to die. And they've lived out a long life, so there's less wasted potential than with a child or a young adult
I just wanna say how amazing it is that so many people in these comments got clean from fentynal. Addiction is hard to beat and fentynal is incredibly addictive.
I’m so proud of those that made it through and I am rooting for those that are still struggling
Seeing the “home” sign and flowers really broke my heart. These people never expected to die in a place they felt safe
Fun fact, kitty litter is pretty good for pure acid spills too! Granted, baking soda works the best, but if you don't have that, kitty litter does pretty good.
For all those who have been there, done that and are now clean you ought to be very proud of yourselves. Sending you a virtual hug.
Definitely a job overlooked. In my opinion y'all deserve to be classified in the heroes category for sure. The amount of danger you put yourself in alone just to clean up the unimaginable is incredibly heroic.
I’m glad you considered the family when cleaning. I’m sure they will be grateful to have the belongings of their relative
I didn't know that this was a profession. I want to tell you folks thank you for doing this job. You folks are very helpful and kind. God bless all of you for taking this responsibility.
Yanno, I was planning on having my teens watch "Requiem for a Dream" to scare them away from hard drugs but I think I need to add this to the list.
I watched that movie and still became an addict. Just really gotta watch who they are around. Its always caused by influence the first time. Even if you think the will power is strong.. Nobody goes and buys it alone at free will. Its always from a “friend” 😓 and when complete euphoria is offered to you in a tiny plastic bag, chances are an angsty, stressed out young person will accept that offer. 🥺
i think being more informative and factual with the kids about drugs and the dangers would help them understand it more and why its bad instead of "scaring them straight" (not hating!)
Yeah seriously education is the best defense, but even then this can happen to anybody if they’re exposed to the right circumstances
Don't bother with the movie... give them the book!
Show them. KIMGARY..OR MORALS OVER MONEY channels. Its kennsington PA. Let them see people strung out littering the streets. Homeless.. if that doesn't scare them away nothing will
A few things: 1) Thank you guys for what you do, and the compassion that you do it with. 2) Fentanyl is TERRIFYING for how deadly it is in such tiny amounts, and 3) I'm really impressed at how well the cat litter absorbs and helps clean up the blood!
Home seems well kept. The person never imagined actually passing away from this. Probably a decent amount of hopes and dreams.
I was on fentanyl patches during chemo. I had never taken pain meds before my cancer diagnosis so I had no idea about fentanyl. I had to take a class on it along with the subsys that is taken along side of it. It wasn’t until my best friend who was a pharmacist at the time, told me how dangerous it was. This was before it had really become an issue in the US. I’m so thankful I got away from it! Scary how dangerous it is.
The patches are safe & cancer is what they are prescribed for. What is going on is illegal drug manufacturers are putting it in street drugs because it’s cheaper to make & it kills people because they dosages are all inconsistent.
Yea I was put on high dose fentanyl patches for pain back in the early 2000's, I was 18 years old and to this day I'm still dependent on opiates, it makes it so much harder to stop them when you are suffering with a rare illness and in agony but on the other hand the side effects are just as bad, I really can't see a way out.
My husband was on high doses of fentanyl at the end of his cancer journey (prescribed). He was in a lot of pain.
I had a patient several years ago whom used fentanyl patches way before it was as wide known as it is now. One day during med pass, I noticed she was very lethargic, almost non-responsive, lips were cyanotic, shallow breathing and she was cold and clammy.
I checked her chest where her fentanyl patch would usually be and didn’t see anything. Something told me to roll her over and that’s when I found two fentanyl patches on her upper back. Gave her Narcan and she snapped right back but yes, fentanyl is dangerous asf.
If it’s that dangerous under medical supervision, imagine how much so when someone is using it illicitly.
@@Jamhands9 that’s usually the primary reason why it’s prescribed, for patients with terminal end stage diseases. Also, condolences to you.
This is exactly why just anyone should never clean up decomp! How would you like to rent this apartment cleaned by their maintenance people? Have your baby or and kids play on the floor?

My friend died on May 4th this year. He had recently developed a skin disorder, no health insurance and because it would crack and bleed he couldn't do much besides lay in bed for the last 2 months. When I learned this I sent him some money so he could buy some cream and I begged him to go back to the ER as they blew him off the first time back in February, instead he used the cream and felt better but he was back in pain a few days later. He bought himself 2 light blue 30mg percs and it turns out they were straight fentanyl. He didn't know and he passed out, stopped breathing and now my 30yo friend who rarely did drugs is gone forever. He was a solid dude, you could leave your wallet next to him and leave for an hour, he'd never touch it. Our border is WIDE OPEN!! It's not helping matters!!!!
Stricter borders wouldn't help. It would only shift where certain drugs are produced.
Thank you for educating people about the dangers of Fentanyl. And for educating everyone about decontamination. It's incredibly interesting and important work!
What scares me the most is how "normal" this condo looks. One would associate an OD to a very disturbed and helpless person. Such as trashed filled rooms and no intention to better ones life.
This drug epidemic is very serious. Oh my.
I worked full time jobs had brand news cars apartments etc. It just gets hard to maintain after awhile
This comment right here 🙄 SERIOUSLY! That's a huge part of the problem!! Got news for you this very drug is being consumed by judge's lawyers doctors etc drugs are not picky it will has and dam sure does effect many and all walks of life ! Obviously you are clearly a typical finger pointing judgmental person pointing at all the so called street people and those you assume live in dirty places talking about them as they are nothing assuming THOSE ppl must be drug addicts since it only is used by THOSE kind of ppl lol WOW a messy home dam sure don't mean their drug addicts and that's a very VERY ignorant remark to make !!Your mentality is infuriating and absolutely ZERO to be proud of 😠
There are some addicts who can use and it doesn't affect their daily life that much but usually it will eventually come crashing down when it becomes more important than everything else :(
And the person here may have also gotten a different drug and it was laced..
It's not simply a drug epidemic, it's an opioid epidemic. Not all drugs are like this, but opioids are extremely addictive and often overprescribed.
It is a myth that just the handling of fentanyl can cause a reaction or an overdose.
Interesting to see how this is done. I've wondered what this process looks like. Really appreciate what you do.
If I were younger I'd definitely do this for a living. Thank you for doing this and thank you for protecting yourself
Why ... Is it your property?
@@hunterwsI hope you’ve had time to contemplate why someone cares about another humans well-being this year
@@harrypottah8889 What I don't understand, yet & still, is why people think they have the position to thank others for shit they weren't involved in.
Same idiots that say "sorry" for instances they had no control over. Tired of the fake pity, now you know.
I’ve been clean for 3 years. Now I watch things like this & intervention, so I never forget how lucky I am to still be here today, after multiple OD’s.
This is just sad. I lost a niece two yrs ago to Fentenayl, and my ex son-in-law just two weeks ago. My 14 yr old grandson is shattered to have lost his dad so soon. Bless you people that clean this up.
I AM 5 YEARS CLEAN TODAY! IM ENJOYING EVERY SECOND! THANK YOU GUYS!!!!
Proud of you 🫶 from a stranger keep going
@hereforthecomments5503 Thank you much 🙏 aside from having my kiddos it's the best thing I've done for myself! I tried getting clean for everyone but myself and it never worked until I done it for me ❤️

Congratulations Genevievessuzi 1649
So happy for you ❤❤
Be careful out there y'all, especially my fellow Floridians. My good friend just overdosed and fentanyl. It was laced in his weed. Absolutely disgusting. Be safe you guys
Is he okay? did he pass? I'm so sorry your friend had to go through that, be strong
sure he did!
@@undefinedd1147 One night at a friend's party, I did 3 marijuanas and haven't ever been the same.
@@joshperry6700 not really the time for satire but you do you
I have been around a long time and I have NEVER known of anybody lacing weed with fentanyl and selling it “ just because “ to someone unknowingly. That’s probably not accurate. It doesn’t make sense . I remember de rolling acid and then telling my mom someone put it in my drink when I started freaking out.
Fentynol is a serious growing problem where I live here in St.Thomas, Ontario, Canada. I work at a homeless shelter and I've lost many friends to this drug and know many more who are addicted to it. I hope and pray that this ends. I truly respect what you all do. God bless
do your research on the opium wars in china during the 1800s... this is chinas way of serving us a cold plate of revenge.
Thank you to everyone that got clean or is trying. Your daughters care about you.
Great video guys. This one hits close to home. My mom died of a fentanyl overdose in May 2019

I m sorry for your loss it's horrible
Wow, I’m so sorry for your loss 😢😢

So sad, the fridge actually looked pretty healthy compared to other fridges I’ve seen in my youth, they probably had a long life ahead of them :( . Drugs are a scary thing man. Praying for those who are struggling
I’m a Jeweller and I think you would benefit from having a jewellers soft brass brush instead of that stiff wire brush to clean objects like the keys and chain. Thank you for an enlightening video!
you kidding?! that chain went into one of their pockets long time ago...some one came up!
Ultrasonic cleaner would work also
I thought so too! Scratching the hell out of what MAYBE a family heirloom or a very special item of the deceased person! OFTEN jewellery is treasured from a deceased loved one! Unprofessional COWBOYS! Hopefully anyone reading these comments is considering hiring these morons! And won’t because of their behaviour and lack of knowledge and respect!
most properties owners reach out to homeowners insurance. Legitimate companies will come in first to do a walk-through and photograph all items all work that needs to be done,work orders typed out for technicians going out.This would have went in a Disposable bowl ( chain)with hospital grade disinfectant Soaked while cleaning the floor at the end of the job it is inventoried photoed and documented at the company all disinfected items of sentimental value are placed in a personal box that is given to the family or next of kin and explain what was done to it and what’s in there. I did crime scene cleanup for a very reputable company that works for AAA and other insurance based companies I was also an office coordinator but I preferred to be out in the field doing the work you pretty much get to see what it looks like before you actually get there because the project manager goes out to document everything and pretty much walks you through pictures on the computer as to what needs to be done so you get a work order and you pretty much know what you need to do when you get there the only time we had to stop a job is when I had one particular job where a person was murdered and the bullet went through their head and it was left behind in the subfloor when I was pulling up the carpet. Forensic police technicians have to come out again and it stalls the work for us.
@@cassbarker1966 they were more concerned about getting a deadly and toxic drug off of it, Karen, than possibly scratching it. Yeah let's hand it back over to the family with a deadly drug on it that killed their family member. The fact they even kept it and cleaned it rather than just throwing it out is the respect you so desperately want. They're doing a job that people like you probably wouldn't yourselves. They meticulously to over everything to keep it safe not pretty.
Proud of everyone sharing their sobriety story in the comments it helps so much! I saw a deceased person who had overdosed in my neighborhood recently and it broke my heart 💔
honestly if I was still in the throws of that stuff gripping me with everything it had I would have lined that powder up that was left on the table....glad that phase is behind me and hope I keep the willpower to keep it gone
i’m so glad you’re doing better ! :)
@@kimdracvla thank you for the kind words
I’ve Been clean over 5 years now but that’s so true. Be well and Stay strong brother!
@@brianrutherfield9233 thanks man, and same to you. I just crossed the year and a half mark myself and my life has gotten so much better.
You will.
Super nice apartment, so sad that drugs took their lives. Awesome job, as always.
I love these types of videos because it's a good reminder to my self what my parents would have to go through if I were to end my life thanks for reminding me to keep going
You people deserve medals for what you do.
