When the body movers remove the suicide victim from a dwelling or business, residue often remains from trauma to the body or decomposition.

These fluids invite insect and animal life. Some remains may remain. Much effort and a frame of mind to remove, in many cases. Call at any time, any day of the week for help when you find a problem remaining after the deceased is removed.

Call for a professional cleaner, day or night, any day of the year.

Professional cleaning for homicide, suicide, unattended death, and more will return the scene to its pre-incident biological condition.

Call at any hour, any day and a professional crime scene cleaner will take your call. Our goal is to help return biologically soiled dwellings and buildings to their pre-incident contition discreetly, respectfully.

Why should we care one way or the other if a trauma cleanup resulted from a homicide or suicide? When fire-arms are used in either case, the difference for the cleaner may be important.

Homicide victim's may move about after being mortally wounded. Suicide victims tend to remain down because their wounds kill instantly, but not always. It is rare, but a suicide victim may be shot twice. Once with a mortal, but not instantly killing wound, which is followed up with an instantly killing wound. Usually the first wound is with a handgun to the chest or stomach, which is followed by a head wound.

We care because of the victim's position relative to the damaging projectile. A homicide victim's wounds may include more than one source of blood and tissue loss.

Bathroom suicides have their own issues. Migrating and wicking we expect, and we need to stay alert to those tight, hidden places so often found in bathrooms.

For instance, the space between the toilet's water closet and the commode itself may harbor debris from a violent blast. I have found tissue in this thin crevice following an extremely violent shotgun blast to the suicide's head. The blast occurred in the bedroom, roughly twenty-five feet away. The victim's tongue made it to the shower enclosure in its projection over the closed shower door.
 
The debrie's trajectory could not explain this cave-like part of the debrie field. What must have happened, happened because this small piece of tissue bounced from the shower door into this space. See picture.
 
There is a lesson here. A high powered blast's trajectory of tissue may cause tissue to ricochet into and onto areas outside of the trajectory paths. The cleaner must look into all areas, use peroxide or other means to highlight biowaste. (Note, an overhead, celiling fan should raise flags inside any death scene. A high powered blast occurring while these fans are turning will widely and randomly spread tissue and blood. )

Suicide Explained, in part - -

Everyone will sooner or later consider suicide as an option, no matter how rosy their life may be. Recall the many rich celebrities that have committed suicide for reasons unknown. It is an inescapable fact of life that we too must consider suicide sooner or later.

By the nature of language and thinking, we must consider suicide as an option under some conditions or no conditions. The only way of not thinking of suicide, sooner or later, would require a Universe with no suicide. In fact, it is just the same with criminal behavior and crime scene cleanup.

Like crime, the first act of suicide condemned humanity to ponder suicide for the rest of human history.

We work through the logic of suicide simply as a "last resort" hypotheses in some unimaginable world, or we simply look at it to unravel why anyone would end their own life. In doing so, we must in some manner place ourselves in the other's shoes for at least a moment.

In social psychology, George Herbert Mead's Philosophy of the Act, the self has internalized objects to place against the sense of self. This occurs as gestures, symbols, and significant symbols become objects to the self, each playing some part in creation of the human mind. Self develops in infancy as the infant takes its place in a Universe of language. In this way as infants grow and understand, these internalized objects serve as internalized reference points. Naturally, "dada" and "mama" become the first internalized objects and significant others. As the self grows so to does its inventory of objects.

In Psychoanalysis, an internalized object exists for similar reasons, as a point of reference, as a sounding board, an "other" for helping to figure out the world we live in. At times this object, the "other," becomes a target as the self seeks to explain misfortune, pain, anxiety, or depression. In some way the self must rid itself of this other or continue to suffer. Ultimately, suicide becomes the one certain means of ridding the self of this other, even at the cost of suicide. (Psychoanalytic Understanding of Violence and Suicide) In this way the self becomes guiltless for whatever ails it and the other becomes the source of self's woes.

Suicide and Shame

There is the theory of shame to help explain suicide. The notion here is that the self suffers too greatly from shame, rightfully of wrongfully imagined. Are the thoughts associated with shame responsible for the feelings of shame? "I am ashamed of what I have done" comes either from the self talking to its self, or from the self's other talking to the self. This is indeed an internalized dialogue.

Figuring out how the self became ashamed of its self or internalized other is more than a semantics game. It becomes a matter of life or death as the victim finds strength enough to destroy the internalized other at any expense, even destruction of the self. In the end, knowledge of shame drives the self beyond its ability to cope with the imagined consequences of surviving. The other (super-ego: psychoanalysis; significant other: Social Psychology) may have become perpetrator or victim of an act too terrible to live with.
