A neighbour has made a chilling claim against a body-cleaning crew after discovering terrifying footage on her home security camera.
On June 20, Summer Gates, who lives a few houses down from a Nevada man who was found dead June 16 inside an ash-filled garage, captured Clark County workers visiting her home.
In the video, investigators at the farm are seen spraying water with a garden hose near where the deceased man was found. It is unclear how he died.
However, Gates claims that his dead neighbor’s bodily fluids were dumped on his driveway, sidewalk and street with only water. He also said the man was found on cardboard after “rotting” for eight weeks.
“Clark County flushed my deceased neighbor’s bodily fluids (they didn’t find him for 8 weeks, you can imagine the fluid) down his driveway WITH WATER,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
A neighbor’s video captured Clark County workers clearing a man’s driveway with a garden hose after he was found dead inside a burning garage on June 16.
On June 20, Summer Gates (pictured), who lives a few doors down from a man who was found dead, captured workers cleaning up the scene. She says they sprayed his bodily fluids on the driveway and street.
‘Then the cardboard it had been rotting in for EIGHT WEEKS was thrown straight into their Republic Services trash can.’
In a separate post, Gates explained exactly what happened when police showed up at his neighbor’s house on Father’s Day.
“Unfortunately, my neighbor died in his garage. At the time, police said his body had probably been there for about eight weeks, but I mentioned that it’s like 109 degrees in Vegas, so it’s like 130 degrees inside a garage,” she said.
‘So the police said that might speed up the process, so he could have been lying there for four or five weeks, they’re not 100 percent sure.’
She explained that officers knew the man was decomposing inside his garage after seeing his bodily fluids leaking under the door.
Gates said he has been in contact with the family of his deceased neighbor, who lives out of state, and has kept them informed of what he has seen.
Gates then detailed his experience with Clark County employees after telling them he would help carry his deceased neighbor’s trash cans in and out for pickup.
She says workers told her it would be fine, but to be careful because there are “biohazardous” materials inside.
Gates said: “Is there a biohazard in the trash can? Like Republic Services’ trash cans?”
The distraught neighbour explained that when her friend moved the bin, wearing gloves, there was ‘black tar’ all around it and it smelled ‘absolutely horrible’.
Her friend then opened the trash can and found the rotting cardboard inside, Gates said.
After witnessing all the commotion at his neighbor’s house, Gates noticed the shocking images on his camera.
“This can’t be right. My first thought was ‘the kids,’ we have so many kids riding bikes and falling on the sidewalk,” Gates said. Fox5.
He soon called his neighbors to explain what he saw and they told him to call the county and “raise a fuss,” Gates said.
Gates then repeatedly called the county but was sent to voicemail “17 times.”
“We saw the county do the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said.
She filed a complaint with the Southern Nevada Health District and an investigation into the case was opened on July 23. On Friday, they said the investigation is ongoing.
Clark County Public Administrator Rita Reid told Fox5 that investigators were at the man’s home to properly secure and “preserve” his valuable belongings.
At some point during the initial cleanup, Reid said, a worker accidentally got too close to where the dead man was found and rinsed his shoe with the hose.
Dried lines of what are believed to be the man’s bodily fluids are seen stuck to the driveway and sidewalk.
Gates also said workers threw the cardboard the dead man was found in into their dumpster.
‘She was going to come into the house at some point, but she didn’t want to go in with that.
‘She tried to spray her shoes and push them towards the rocks, and as she did so, she continued to clean that area.
“I don’t think it’s done any harm other than creating the anxiety among neighbors and the tensions that we’re all seeing right now,” Reid said.
She has insisted that the cleaning crew did not let running water fall on the sidewalk and that the process was “contained.”
Reid added that the department is “fully cooperating” with the health department’s investigation.
A week after Estate Investigators visited the home, a biohazard cleanup crew sanitized the home’s driveway, rocks and trash can, Reid said.
