As you can see from the picture the maggots had started to infest this bloody, leftover remains of a human body we cleaned up this week.
The story was this guy worked at a job where he was exposed to a lot of chemicals and at times pretty intense fumes and fire. He had a few close calls where he was exposed to chemicals that had leaked on his skin and burned him a few times.
Apparently the last week of his life he worked on a train derailment for several days straight on an out of town job. The job was dangerous because tankers carrying dangerous chemicals had overturned causing a chemical spill and fire. The fumes were bad and even though he wore a plastic suit and mask he had inhaled in a great deal of the chemicals when his mask had fallen off.
He suffered internal burns and internal bleeding that he had no idea about. Surely he must have felt ill but still didn’t do anything about it. Can you even imagine what that would feel like burning and bleeding internally? All I can say is that had to be a nasty way to die.
He lived alone so he wasn’t found for quite some time.

Unattended Death Can Be A Hazardous Situation
Most often it can contain blood, tissue, bodily fluids, urine, and feces all in a state of decomposition. This poses an extreme risk for untrained individuals as they can be exposed to infectious diseases. A single drop of blood or bodily fluid can contain germs, bacteria, and active disease that will remain viable and dangerous for long periods of time.
These dangers can soak into cloth, carpet, wood, flooring, sub-flooring, in between walls, and ceilings carrying their pathogens with them.
In addition to the risk an untrained person undertakes when dealing with an unattended death, OSHA and the EPA have strict regulations on the collection and disposal to these types of hazardous material. Not only does Advanced Bio Treatment have professionally trained technicians with specialized equipment to handle the scene of an unattended death, but we also handle the entire disposal for you.
