The back buildings of the old manufacturing plant covering parts of both Smyrna and Marietta had not been inspected for over fifteen years at least. The land developer considering the purchase of the large parcel sent some real estate appraisers out to the mammoth site to review the plot and give their opinions as to its possible worth. They contacted an agent for the old company to help them access the property and the agent sent a custodian with them for assistance.
When they reached one of the back buildings that had not been used by the company for many years before they had even closed their operations, the custodian found the correct key to open the door to one of these storage facilities. By the time he managed to pry the door open he and the appraisers almost fell on their respective behinds because the smell was so putrid. Within a minute or so they discovered a decomposed corpse which must have been there for some time.
The people who were successors to that company concerned about the need to sell that property, or at least certain parts of it, contacted the police to have a report done to identify the body. They also enlisted the services of a death odor removal company to get rid of the horrible stench left by the corpse and take additional measures to sanitize that facility. They also checked other buildings to see if the death odor removal company could aid them in remediating any other parts of the property. The certificate given to them by the death odor removal outfit after the completion of their death odor removal work was an important document that this property owner could use to show any prospective buyers so they wouldn’t have to worry about any dangerous conditions if they bought the parcel.
