Rules that apply in Warsaw
Who investigates a death here
Missouri has no state medical examiner system. Each county has an elected coroner or an appointed county medical examiner, who must be a licensed physician. Some larger counties must appoint a medical examiner. Violent, suicide, sudden, suspicious and unattended deaths must be reported to the coroner or medical examiner right away (RSMo 58.451, 58.720).
Help paying for cleanup after a crime
No. The Crime Victims' Compensation Program, run by the Missouri Department of Public Safety, lists crime scene clean-up as a loss it does not cover. It pays for medical, counseling and funeral costs and lost wages or support, up to $25,000 in total. Some smaller items, such as lock repair, were added in 2021. Phone (573) 526-6006 or 1-800-347-6881.

Drug lab properties
Missouri law (RSMo 441.236 and 442.606) requires owners, sellers and landlords who know a property was used to make meth to disclose it in writing to buyers or renters, even without a conviction. DHSS publishes meth lab cleanup guidelines. Unconfirmed: we could not open them to check for a cleanup standard, a state registry, or a certified-contractor requirement.
