I Come After Death. The Story of a Professional Crime Scene Cleaner

BESTSELLER SPIEGEL! A unique insider's look at one of the most unusual and shocking professions – crime scene cleaner. HE STANDS AGAINST DEATH, ARMED ONLY WITH A BUCKET AND A MOP… Corpse fluid on the carpet, blood stains on the door frame, severed toes, hundreds of maggots, and the unbearable smell of decay filling the whole house: Thomas Kundt's work as a professional crime scene cleaner begins when the police and forensic investigators leave. He is called upon when dealing with the most complex cases – for example, cleaning an apartment after a bloody fountain or a deceased tenant whose body has been decomposing in the apartment for a whole year… In his witty and heartfelt book, Thomas Kundt shares touching and sometimes sad human stories about his clients. Victims of accidents and domestic violence, lonely pensioners, people who didn't fit into the new society after the fall of the GDR – the heroes of this book alongside its author. Thomas Kund admits: his job is to help people continue living after the loss of loved ones, as well as to preserve the memory of those who died alone. It is a kind of reconciliation with death as a part of existence, which has taught him to value every human life. Disinfector and crime scene cleaner Thomas Kundt published the book After Death I Come and ended up right on the Spiegel bestseller list. His captivating stories about crime scenes, unusual places in the house where bodies were found, and about his work that begins when the police and criminologists leave the apartment have since delighted a growing fan base.
