Case #1

An elderly man was found deceased, lying on his bed, by his son.  Having passed a week prior the decomposition of the body had saturated the bed mattress, box spring and carpeting under the bed.  The son contacted the authorities and neighborhood funeral home who in turn recommended ADS.  Three ADS technicians were dispatched and removed the mattress, box spring and affected carpeting and containerized them for disposal.  All waste material was delivered to a licensed autoclave facility to destroy the biological hazard.  Prior to leaving the bedroom was vacuumed, spoiled food was removed from the refrigerator and  personal affects that were of immediate importance were boxed-up at the request of the next of kin.  The home was deodorized upon departure. 

Case #2

A husband, and father of three, committed suicide in a garage two weeks prior to Christmas.  At the request of the son-in-law ADS was hired and dispatched to complete the cleanup.  The ADS lead technician met the son-in-law at the property to gain access and determine which items were of value (monetary and sentimental) and would need to be cleaned or discarded.  During the course of the cleanup several sizable bone fragments were discovered.  The medical examiner was notified.  The unpainted sheetrock walls and ceiling could not be effectively cleaned and would need to be removed for disposal.  This need was discussed with the son-in-law to obtain approval.  Photos were taken throughout the cleanup process to assist in the preparation of a report and invoice to the insurance company.

Case #3

A referral from a local funeral home was received from a woman whose boyfriend was murdered during a drug deal.  During the course of the cleanup, ADS technicians discovered a shell casing from the gun used in the homicide.  The spent casing was turned-over to local law enforcement who removed a usable fingerprint from the casing.  The fingerprint was instrumental in the development of the criminal case and conviction of the murderer.
