Who does what in Oshkosh
Medical examiner
The Winnebago County Medical Examiner is at 4361 Jackson Street in Oshkosh. The office number is 920-232-3300, and 920-561-2125 takes messages around the clock. Office hours are weekday mornings to early afternoon.
Autopsy
The medical examiner's own answers say there is no charge to the family for an autopsy in a case it takes, and that an autopsy should not hold up funeral plans.
Oshkosh Police
Non-emergency: 920-236-5700. Ask them about the release of a scene and the report number.
When you are ready
Once the medical examiner and police are done, the home is yours again. Close off the room and call when you feel able to.
If the home is a rental, tell the landlord. If you own it, call your insurer before work starts and ask what records it wants.

Talk it through before you decide
You do not need to know the right words. Describe the room and what happened, and ask what the company would do first.
When the home has been released
Call and say what happened, in your own words. An independent cleanup company will explain what the work involves. You decide whether to go ahead.
