    My friend’s neighbor shot himself in the bathroom of the house he was renting. After the police left, my friend and the landlord that owned the two properties had to clean his brains off of the bathroom walls and mop up a puddle of blood. My friend got a free month rent for helping the landlord.

    This is America.

        Over a thousand dollars to wipe up a biohazard ain’t bad. Also gives them a month to find a new roommate without having to worry about covering his share of the rent.

          I think it being a biohazard is not the issue.

          Also, if you equate a roommate’s brain matter to any other biohazard waste, you might be psychopathic. I don’t mean that as an insult. Just keep in mind that most people aren’t as apathetic about these things.

      Not sure what that has to do with the police, but they should have recommended a company to to help with cleanup at least.

      Sorry, but cleaning up a suicide isn’t the job of the police, or even EMT beyond a certain point. This is why crime scene cleaning companies exist.
