Helenus User ID: 77192571 United States 07/03/2020 10:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not an expert here but if it smells really bad perhaps there is a kind of SCBA you could use. You'd have to work systematically starting in one room at a time working form one edge to the other. Picking up, tossing, and sorting. You may find there is only enough worth keeping that could fill a mini van. Also check for his banks for security boxes. |

He would squeeze his out 1/4 until the Eagle squealed. He didn't hardly ever work a W-2 job, but he always worked under the table. I don't think there's any money, but that's my thoughts on things. But I will get hold of the bank papers if I could just get in there. The smell has almost dissipated. The detectives left the window open, and you can catch a whiff of it here and there. It's not as bad as it could be. I'm just worried about germs. As for COVID, we don't know. Medical examiner hasn't come back with the report yet. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69090464 Canada 07/03/2020 10:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The stink will get through most masks that you can buy at any store. Get a half mask respirator with some N95 or N100 cartridges. About as good as you will get without spending huge money. About as good as you can do. Open doors to house/trailer first and let air blow through a while before you go in. Buy a tyvek disposable suit and wear old shoes. As soon as you are done then just garbage everything right then and there. Bring a bunch of bottled water and soap and clean up before getting into car and going home. I had a relative in similiar situation. Gangrene sores leaked all over couch and carpet. Stunk beyond belief. |

Be prepared to burn what you are wearing at location, sanitise afterwards and you are done. |

Comfortable, easy to breathe through, and gives great filtration for everything but certain chemicals. If you're not worried about a chemical attack, that's the setup. |

MeowMix (OP) User ID: 76973540 United States 07/03/2020 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My brother told his best friend and my two sisters that when he goes, it belongs to me. I was the one person he trusted more than anyone in the world and helped him through some hard times. I COULD leave it. I COULD just let the state take it. There is no will, (that I know of but who knows till I get in there) just succession of inheritance. So it will fall on me when my sisters decline. That is what my brother would have wanted. I already made plans that when I see him again beyond this world I'm going to kick his ass for leaving me such a mess! |
