In Chittenden County, death investigations are handled through the medical examiner system. Families are usually contacted by that office or by police when a Essex Junction property can be entered. We are not the medical examiner and are not law enforcement. A referral starts only after the scene is released.

Until that release, do not enter to clean, do not throw belongings away, and do not post images of the scene. If someone is in danger, call 911. If you or someone with you is in crisis, call or text 988.

Long freezes in Essex Junction slow the visible changes after an unattended death. A thaw, or a heated closed room, can make odor obvious quickly. Cold is not the same thing as safe.

Essex Junction housing includes older village houses and newer subdivisions. We do not give legal advice about who is responsible. After a scene is released, the person who controls the property usually requests the referral. That is often the owner or the manager for a rental, and a family member when the household still controls the home. A tenant should not be expected to wipe blood or decomposition residue. Neither one is a reason for the family to do the cleanup.

Vermont does not use one national meth-lab license. If a Essex Junction property was used to manufacture drugs, that is a different referral from blood or an unattended death. The partner follows the health or environmental direction that applies, or declines, and can provide a clearance or completion report from the cleanup company.

An independent partner that accepts a Essex Junction referral typically contains the area, removes porous materials it is prepared to take, disinfects what can stay, and arranges disposal through its own channels. Odor work comes after the source is gone. That company does the work and sends its own invoice. We are not paid by the customer. There is no local office in Chittenden County.
