Town or county?
Plenty of homes with a Lexington mailing address are outside town limits. Those are served by the Lexington County Sheriff, not the town police. Either way, the coroner is the Lexington County office on Duffie Drive.
If the floor is floating vinyl plank or laminate, fluids can run underneath it, so the boards may need to come up even where the surface looks clean. Mention the flooring when you call.
