Midrash for Chullin 70:36
לא הא דם חללים מכשיר
for I might have argued: What is the difference whether a human being or the angel of death slays it?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And if R. Simeon holds that the blood of an animal killed by a man will render foodstuffs susceptible to uncleanness then he would surely hold the same with the blood of an animal that died a natural death, in other words, slain by the angel of death.');"><sup>14</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"On the earth shall you spill it as water": Just as it is permitted to derive benefit from water, it is permitted to derive benefit from blood — Just as water renders seed susceptible (of incurring tumah), so, blood. Just as water need not be covered, so blood (that of a disqualified offering which has been slaughtered) need not be covered.
