Tenant passed away in an apartment

[Mark Yuschak]

Just as the topic title states..

I got the call earlier today from a neighboring apartment. That tenant was complaining of an odor and asked if I had heard from the elderly lady next door. I hadn't. He took it upon himself to call 911. It's a good thing he did. When the police arrived they found my tenant deceased.

It is estimated she could have been there for as long as three days.

The odor was horrible (and is still lingering).

Anyone have any advice on how to remove that smell? Any "been there, done that's" would be helpful.
