Self Inflicted Death or Attempts (Suicide)

The taking of one’s own life (or the attempt) can be very difficult to understand. This confusion coupled with a death quickly overwhelms family and friends. We work as discreetly as possible to protect the confidentiality of the victim and family. The aftermath of firearms (handguns, rifles and shotguns) are disturbing and leave scenes that no one should ever have to witness. These scenes can be ghastly, resulting in family and friends experiencing additional emotional trauma such as Critical Incident Stress Syndrome. Being forced to clean up the body fluids and other biological debris can emotionally scar individuals. It is important to use trained professionals to deal with these situations.
