What happens when a body is found in a hotel room?

After the coroner removes the body, the police finish the investigation to find the cause of death. Once the police released the scene back to the property owner, it is then up to the hotel owner to clean up body fluids. They have to make sure all surfaces are disinfected and the environment safe for all future guests.
