Whats the Police term mean finding a "stinker"?

Question

And what over the counter medicine helps?

Answer 1

If it is in a house, burning some coffee grounds in a fry pan will help to cover the smell. But only a bit. Nothing smells like a dead body that is ripe.  Once you have experienced it, you will never forget it .

Answer 2

A dead body that has started to decompose.  Some Vics Vapor rub can help.
