An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
Cleanup begins after authorities release the property. In Texas, a justice of the peace or a medical examiner, depending on the county, looks into certain deaths. They and the police decide when the scene is released. Ask them for the release before booking a crew.
