Can you describe the process of responding to a body recovery call?

Hi, I've got a question here that says, can you describe the process of responding to a body recovery call? When you're doing a body recovery, it's, you know, there's could be several things that have happened. We've gone on car accidents that we've had to extricate the deceased party, suicides. We've had to help the coroner bag up the deceased party. We even had one where a mid-20s fella had overdosed and went up in his attic and had died. And his parents hadn't seen him for about three months, but the neighbors had a smell in the neighborhood. We finally narrowed it down to the attic. And when we found him, we had to help the coroner take the body out of the attic. We ended up cutting the roof, just like we were doing a ventilation, in order to get the body out. The body, every time you picked it up, it fell apart. So each body recovery is a little different. The odor is still the same. It stays with you forever. It's just, it's a smell that you don't wish on anybody. They're tough calls.
