Trauma Cleaning

Unfortunately, compulsive hoarders are often solitary individuals who often become distanced from family and friends, their lifestyle is misunderstood and as such, friends and acquaintances are often replaced by items. However, unlike people with more conventional lifestyles, cuffers of compulsive hoarding syndrome are much more likely to die alone and their body to remain undiscovered for days, weeks or in extreme cases even months.

More stories crop up in the papers about lonely people dying alone, surrounded by their own rubbish. Examples includes Tony Baxter, 85, from Pinner, who emptied his neighbours' rubbish into his home each week; Joan Cunnane, 77, who was crushed in her Stockport home under 16 years' worth of unopened goods she had bought; and 89-year-old Harold Carr, who hoarded mountains of memorabilia, including a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, one of only 17 ever made, which sold for £3.2m at Bonhams' RetroMobile auction.

The plain truth is that in the case of an unattended deaths, even within a couple of hours, the body starts to breakdown and decompose - the longer the body has remained undiscovered, the worse the cleanup task is for the trauma operatives to deal with.
