Neighbor makes eerie claim against corpse cleanup crew after making horrifying discovery on security footage
A neighbor made a chilling claim against a corpse cleanup crew after discovering petrifying 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 on June 16 inside a roasting garage - captured Clark County workers visiting his home.
In the video, Estate Investigators were seen spraying water from a garden hose near where the deceased man was found. It is unclear how he died.
However, Gates claims her dead neighbor's bodily fluids were rinsed down his driveway and onto the sidewalk and street with just water. She also said the man was found on cardboard after 'rotting' for eight weeks.
'Clark County rinsed my deceased neighbor's body fluids (he wasn’t found for 8 weeks- you can imagine the fluid) down his driveway WITH WATER,' she wrote in a Facebook post.

'THEN the cardboard he had been rotting on for EIGHT WEEKS, they dumped straight into his Republic Services trash can.'
In a separate post, Gates explained exactly what happened when cops showed up at her neighbor's home on Father's Day.
'Unfortunately my neighbor was deceased in his garage. At the time, the cops said it was probably about eight weeks his body was lying there, but I brought up the point that in Vegas it's like 109 [degrees], so inside a garage has to be like 130 [degrees],' she said.
'So, then the cops said that could speed up the process, so he might have been laying there for four or five weeks, they're not 100 percent sure.'
She explained that officers knew the man was decaying inside his garage after they spotted his bodily fluids seeping out from under the door.
Gates said she has been in contact with her dead neighbor's family, who live out of state, and have kept them updated on what she's seen.
Gates then detailed her experience with Clark County employees after telling them she would help out with taking her late neighbor's trash cans in and out for pickup.
She claims that the workers said that would be fine, but to be careful because there are 'biohazardous' materials inside.
Gates said: 'Biohazard in the trash can? Like the Republic Services trash cans?'
The disturbed neighbor explained that when her friend moved the trash can, with gloves on, there was 'black tar' surrounding it and it smelled 'absolutely horrendous.'
Her friend then opened the trash can and found the rotting cardboard inside, Gates said.
After witnessing all the commotion at her neighbor's home, Gates noticed the shocking footage on her camera.
'This can’t be right. My automatic thought was the children, we have so many kids riding their bikes, and falling on the sidewalk,' Gates told Fox5.
She soon called her neighbors to explain what she saw and they told her to call the county and 'raise hell,' 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 f****** seen in my entire life,' she said.
She filed a complaint with the Southern Nevada Health District and an investigation on the case was open on July 23. On Friday, they said the investigation is ongoing.
Rita Reid, a Clark County Public Administrator, told Fox5 that investigators were at the man's home to secure and 'preserve' his valuable belongings properly.
At some point during the initial clean up, Reid said a worker accidentally stepped too close to where the dead man was found and rinsed her shoe with the hose.

'She was at some point going to go into the home, but she didn’t want to go in with that.
'She did try to spray off her shoes, and push that over toward the rocks, and in doing that, she did continue to keep cleaning that area.
'I don’t think she did any harm other than to create the anxiety of the neighbors and tensions that we’re all seeing right now,' Reid said.
She has insisted that the cleanup team did not get any of the running water 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 cleaning crew sanitized the home's driveway, rocks and the trash bin, Reid said.
