Due to the loss of bodily fluids, unattended death and human decompositions are one of the most hazardous and resource intensive scenes to clean. Most of the time, all "soft" goods such as carpet, bedding, and upholstery, must be recovered and disposed of.  However, porous structural components may also require removal and subsequent decontamination.  In certain conditions, strong, pungent odors will accompany the decomposition, requiring surgical-style deodorization.
