Singer Suicide Cleanup
Call me Ed Evans and please call my suicide cleanup competitors for their prices. You may find some older Los Angeles suicide cleanup companies, but few have suicide cleanup technicians with my experience.
How can I make such a claim? Easy, I do my own suicide cleanup work on every job. I've done suicide cleanup work in California and Nevada for over 8 years. It doesn't matter if I'm in your city or another city. My prices beat companies with employees.
My prices remain as quoted on the telephone so long as the suicide cleanup job resembles your verbal description. I allow for unforeseens because I understand what I might find. My prices reflect a fair days work for suicide cleanup your city.
My prices include materials as needed. There are no hidden suicide cleanup fees. I clean and decontaminate suicides anywhere in California and Nevada using tools and chemicals without additional charge to your city residents.
If you don't have money for finding blood or suicide cleanup help, visit Do it Yourself Blood Cleanup for some suggestions. Anyone in your city can do blood cleanup, given the time, patience, and will to do so. But suicide cleanup has some very serious cleaning problems related to it. A professional suicide cleanup technician should be used when possible.
I live in Orange County, California. But I clean in many states. If you have noticed my absence of comments about Orange County in particular, it's because I clean in Orange County about once per year. Rarely do I have suicide cleanup work in Orange County. Maybe once in every 3 years I receive a suicide cleanup call in my own county because of coroner employee fraud.
My suicide cleanup business attends to needs in Sacramento, San Diego, and Las Vegas much more often. Only one cause explains why. The Orange County coroner's office has crony employees. "Crony" means corrupt. In Orange County suicide cleanup work it means county employees send family members of suicide victims to their own cleaning company, or a crony suicide cleanup company.
As a result of this fraud, I have created Orange County Consumer Fraud and Crime Scene Cleanup Fraud for consumer awareness. I will create more web pages to help alert those in need of suicide cleanup services.
Suicides
My suicide cleanup work focuses on the hygienic needs of toddlers first. Because toddlers spend so much time on the floor I clean for them. I reduce blood from carpets by cutting out blood soiled areas. These areas receive thorough cleaning, disinfections, and sealing.
Suicide cleanup has hazards as well as uncomfortable working conditions, as callers know all too well. My decontamination equipment includes an ozone machine and chemical fogger.
Suicide cleanup includes cleaning up blood possibly infected by viruses and other pathogens, germs. Following violent crimes we often call suicide cleanup crime scene cleanup, Likewise with suicides. We call blood cleanup "biohazard cleanup" following a suicide.
A reader will guess that biohazard cleanup serves as a generic term for these other blood loss events. Possible biohazard reside in wet, moist, and dried flaky blood. Other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) may contaminate a near-by environment.
Homicide
Homicide means a taking of another human life. It need not occur by design or accident to qualify as "homicide." We rarely considered domestic violence against women as criminal conduct until 1970. Our first national survey for violence between married couples reported at least one physical assault occurring in their relationship. During homicide cleanup, I find these death scenes reflect great physical violence.
Before 1970 assaults against wives were considered misdemeanors in many states. Some assaults against wives would have been considered as felonies if these attacks were against acquaintances or strangers. Due to cultural norms, police ignored this violence in your city and other places. Even when police believed domestic violence against women went too far, they were constrained by local and state ordinances.
As readers might guess, sometimes suicide cleanup follows homicide cleanup.
Patriarchy has a long established power in domestic settings. Confronting patriarchy's power in your city took years. The women's movement brought about substantial change as women were slowly elected into local and national seats of power. With these changes chang's in laws came about. See my article, "Alcohol in Crime Scene Cleanup."
You can read about the role of alcohol abuse in domestic violence. Its influence on the temperance movement. Then the temperance movement's influence on women's right to vote.
These social changes in your city brought about protection for women as victims of domestic violence. It took several generations for the 18th Amendment, women's right to vote, to generalize to some protection. Now police officers have a duty to remove at least one spouse from a home noted for domestic violence.
Interestingly, either or both husband and wife must attend counseling classes for violence control, at their expense.
I suppose my suicide cleanup business, like other suicide cleanup businesses, have suffered as a result of these changes. What a wonderful way to lose business.
Meanwhile, cultural norms in your city slowly changed as the dominant media began to show women in dominant and important roles. Men chastised by others for their domestic violence began to change their ways with social and cultural pressures. But homicide against women by men perpetrators did not stop by any means.
Women in your city remain at risk of being killed in their homes by someone they know, rather than an intruder.
Even though 47 states legislated by 1980 in some way to stop domestic violence, problems continued. At least police were now directed to make arrests following domestic violence between married couples of intimate partners. States mandated counseling programs as an intervention into domestic violence homes. Couples were held accountable for violent episodes and held responsible for paying counseling fees.
Unattended deaths with decomposition pose special problems related to suicide cleanup, in my opinion. I need to note too that this position on unattended deaths represents a minority opinion. What causes me to voice this opinion reflects my approach to death cleanup in general. I disinfect from start to finish. Suicide cleanup requires this approach to sanitizing. I see no other way to do suicide cleanup and have always followed this method. It works the same in your city as anywhere else.
Unattended deaths with decomposition carries risks from OPIM. Infectious environments need disinfecting and soiled material removal. Extreme hygienic exaggeration should be used by both novice as well as professionals during suicide cleanup of any sort.
Never remove suicide related material without wearing gloves. "For cleaning blood or bloody fluids from floors, beds, and more." Wear protection over eyes-nose-and-mouth. Have a safe means of exit and a place to decontaminate yourself and clothing.
Dried blood may easily aerosolize if allowed. Stay away from all dried and OPIM materials.
Whether death occurs by suicide or natural causes unattended, death's decomposition processes begin almost immediately. Once the heart stops beating brain cells die. We cannot revive them. When finding how long a decedent has been dead, coroner's technicians consider algor mortis, body temperature of the deceased; liver mortis or color of decedent's liver, and rigor mortis or stiffness of decedents following death. Stiffness begins about two hours after death and peaks at about twelve hours after death.
During liver mortis red blood cells separate from from blood plasma and begin settling.
After eight hours these cells break out of capillaries and slowly move to lower areas of a body.
During a biohazard cleanup it become interesting to find blood migrates in to exterior areas, a lowest point on a bed, couch, or floor. Decomposition cleanup shows other effects due to physics. Nature's bounds sometimes exceed our imagination.
I will soon make an effort to turn Los Angeles Blood - Crime - Death - Suicide Clean-up into a all inclusive web site. I hope to cover many subjects related to suicide as well as suicide cleanup. Literature will feature suicide's many themes in world literature. Singer residents should expect more information related to suicide cleanup on those pages.

My training includes a master's in educational counseling, which means I have a general degree in curriculum development and writing, as well as face-to-face counseling. I suppose some of this education generalizes to suicide cleanup. I'm sure my writing reflects my efforts in counseling work, though. I try to write informally.
My interest in this degree field arose from teaching language arts (English and American Literature, reading, writing, critical thinking) at high school levels. This experience first introduced me to students' writing about suicide; some years previous I worked with suicidal juveniles in a juvenile hall and youth guidance center. So the idea of suicidal thoughts in young people sort of festered for years. I made a point of reading student journals from beginning to end, making notations in their margins. Of course, any writing by students about committing suicide became administration's issue, too.
Romeo and Juliet tend to bring out suicidal ideas, and little did I know when discussing these two characters with students, I would one day sit writing about suicide cleanup. Now I look back at my experiences talking with others, academically, about suicide.
Sometimes students mentioned suicide, but in an off-handed manner. I considered these comments as something to speak about in general terms. Once, a female student wrote that she would, indeed, soon take her life. This I took as the real deal and reported to our administration. At this time in my life I had no idea that professional suicide cleanup services existed.
Since then I've tried to learn what I can about suicide, homicide, unattended death, and other behaviors reflecting the human condition. Meanwhile, It happens that I've trained myself in power washing, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, floor inspection, natural stone restoration and polishing, and home inspection. These skills and others I bring to suicide cleanup.
So when horrible actions, events, and situations occur, call Eddie Evans to help return your family or friend's suicide scene to its previous biologically safe condition. Anytime of day or night, any day of the week or year, I'm here to respond for homicides, suicides, unattended deaths, accidents, and other events creating massive human blood loss. Animal issues are also remedied. My prices are fair and reasonable. Home owners insurance will often apply. I guarantee my work.
Claims adjusters and insurance agents may find my suicide cleanup services convenient for cleaning unusual and unexpected situations.
As a professional suicide cleanup technician, I'm a "niche cleaner." I reduce blood and other biohazardous materials from beds, furniture, carpet, and more during suicide cleanup.
As a biohazard cleanup technician cleaning challenges my imagination at times. Sometimes I'm challenged to move forward when something new and unseemly appears on a biohazard cleanup job.
So sometimes I ask myself, "Where do I begin and how should I move forward?" I know I'll succeed, but getting there takes time and fortitude.
I try to make sense out of the violent act that lead to suicide cleanup. This way I figure out where to test for debris and what to ignore. Sometimes the velocity of biological debris comes with surprises, like ricocheting objects. Following testing I can anticipate the breadth and depth of blood and other human effluents. I know too that in the last hours of cleaning, I will find debris previously missed. I expect this and must clean over and over at times.
In this way I recognize and clean blood contaminated furnishings, mattresses, walls, clothing, fans, books, electronics, dishes, and more.
I usually wear organic filters on my respirator. As I remove and cleanup blood soiled areas, I disinfect, flush, and red bagged materials. I take my respirator off and clean a little faster as work moves along. I'm used to the odors and at times do not pickup on death's fragrances.
The worse of the worse suicide cleanup tasks follow child and youth suicides. I've written elsewhere about youth suicide cleanup. Fortunately, I've never been tasked for child suicide cleanup. When I say, "suicide cleanup's the most emotional type of death cleanup," my words fail to carry the gravity of these situations.
My background in public education reminds me so well of students and their problems. Teachers become aware of their students suicidal ideation through observation, listening, and reading their thoughts on paper. In fact, student writing assignments closely read reveal real insights into youthful minds.
Students rarely come right out and state what's going on. They work around their problems. Sometimes they note a problem belongs to someone else, but it is their problem.
For example, when a language arts teacher collaborates with school counselors or school psychologists, students' rights must be observed. Just as important, a decision made early on to inform students' of their close scrutiny by school staff comes at some risk.
A covert form of observation initiated by teachers stumbling across student pleas for help shows one approach to helping stud nets. A more direct an open approach goes much more deeply and directly to the root of youth problems. This approach occurs when teachers generate a trust in students by their genuine care and concern for students. I witnessed this affirmative teaching many times. So many times I've seen students approach a teacher to relate, emote, and seek help because of their teacher's genuine empathy for others.
Students under staff observation have left school, rather than remain under official attention. They fear their peers will learn something "suspected" of them. They resent this "snooping" into "my business," they have said.
Still, others feel a relief when staff, adults, place caring attention on them. An open field of conversation between staff and students with suicidal problems gives all "straight-talk" from those involved.
Students respond to this adult attention, especially when neglected in their home life. Positive peer pressure may follow as school staff "conspire" to direct suicidal students into school approved activities. Activities with success built-in ensure positive reinforcement for students unaccustomed to success and praise.
During these dire times of school budget cuts few programs for youth remain. Yet youth suicide grows with social and cultural influences.
Physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, and peer pressures show their part in youth suicide. In 2004 a suicide prevention bill called the "Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act," became law.
In passing this legislation, the U.S. Congress noted that "youth suicide is a public health tragedy linked to underlying mental health problems and that youth suicide early intervention and prevention activities are national priorities." At least our Congress has stated the problem. Now it needs to come up with the money for genuine student-centered programs.
What we do have in place, for the moment, is an idea that school psychology plays a role in turning our focus to positive behavior. Negative behavior casts students into a never ending turmoil between home and school. Included in this new approach we find collaboration with community resources and linking one to the other. This linking becomes important for parent’s concerned about their child’s suicide risks.
A tier system helps to interlink resources. A first tier as a universal, primary level allows all involved in a school setting to receive interventions directed toward students mental health. Emotional, behavioral, or academic problems receive attention at this first level of intervention. Positive outcome programs then begin to redirect negative student perceptions to positive students perceptions.
The second tier, a selected or secondary level, allows for a more intense set of interventions. This tier serves those students who do not respond well to to universal interventions as found in the first tier.
The third tier, as indicated, applies more individualized interventions for those students who do not respond to tiers 1 and 2, the universal and selected tiers. School psychologists use this framework as a public health approach to identifying trouble youth and useful responses to suicidal behavior among students.
We should not forget the rash of group suicides in the 1990s resulting from peer pressure alone. A tier system in place may have identified and aided those children feeling pressured by peers to commit suicide.
Your city's schools alert to the tier system of suicide intervention may profit in unforeseen ways. Other issues besides suicide arise through these intervention strategies.
