For most owners, yes. Blood and body fluids carry health risks, odor can linger for months, and mistakes can leave hidden contamination. Professionals remove the hazard and give the owner records that insurers accept.
Only after law enforcement releases the scene. Ask the investigating agency directly. Until then, stay out of the area and do not move or clean anything.
