Police presence in home

A comment in the 'Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?' thread got me curious.
A few months ago due to circumstances I've mentioned often enough, there were police in my house for 6+ hours and did a full 'search?' of my house.
I understand protecting the scene, but in hindsight it was unnerving, so much so my parent's took my son back to their place for some breathing room.
The bulk of the time was waiting for the coroner, then 6 hours later the morgue people arrived.
I guess my main annoyance was the misinformation I received. I asked a couple hours in if the bathroom would be cleaned and was told no, that's your responsibility. Of course I'm imagining the worst for hours.
When she was finally out of the house I screwed up my nerve to see what was waiting for me.
Bathroom was spotless, mercifully.
I don't know if I got lucky with an ace team or bad information from drps.
Will reach out to clarify or make sure better information is known more widely.
Sorry for the novel.

When my late brother was a Toronto cop he was first on scene in some sad cases. I was lead to believe there were special clean up crews at the end to spare the family the added grief.

That was my expectation as well, would've been nice to get the proper information at the time.

Sadly like ServiceOntario, your answer is probably different from every person you talk to. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, hopefully they were underpromising and overdelivering as maybe cleanup is something they try to do given time and effort constraints but the frontline cop has no say in any of that so he doesn't want to promise something that may not happen when you are already having a terrible day.

Good rational suggestion, thanks.
I'm wondering if conversely the coroner saying it could take a month for a cause of death had a similar 'spare the anguish at this time' rationale. At a celebration of life event I was speaking to a couple of my wife's cousins who are in the medical field and they pretty much confirmed 'the coroner was just being nice, it'll likely take 2-5 months'. Approaching month 4, still nothing.

Waiting for answers is awful. A friend died on vacation down south. He was healthy and ~40 and went from stomach pain to dead in 48 hours. His wife had to wait something like four months to get the body out and more than a year for the autopsy. Autopsy was inconclusive and had some very questionable findings (apparently the guy had his gallbladder removed the day before he died but the autopsy said the gallbladder looked normal. So was operation a sham (he went under and was cut) or was autopsy a sham?). Ontario wasn't interested in conducting an autopsy and wife couldn't deal with anymore so it will be a perpetual question mark. Hopefully when you finally get the report it provides you some answers and closure.

First sorry for your loss.
The delay is likely due to some backlog with the lab reports.
