How much does suicide cleanup cost?

Does homeowners insurance cover suicide cleanup?

Who pays if the person was a tenant?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.
Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?
