The incident to which I was referring was an accident. Not certain yours was due to limited info and I still can't figure out what was dropped from the original post ("bed"?)

Was the pillow itself stained, or just the pillow case? If it was just the pillow case, then I don't get why pillow was replaced. Regardless a pillow case being stained is IMO normal wear and tear. It's put on the pillow partially to help protect the pillow.
As for it being bodily fluids, those are on every sheet regardless if visible. Semen/urine/💩 are all commonly found and perspiration is going to be on every touched sheet. Bleach does wonders! For the rare non-white, there's other disinfectants.

No, it doesn't seem like that at all. It reads like something from a living person's body was dropped on the bed and resulted in a stain, with that stain probably being the size of some kind of coin no larger than the kind of coin that can fit in a kid's pant's pocket.
I wonder what brand of Marriott hotel hit the OP's referred to person with the $130 charge.

He has accidentally dropped a small (smaller than a coin) bed, which left a stain on a pillow case, because of a medical condition.

It specifically reads like it has an included typographical error, one that doesn’t take genius to understand if really interested in making an effort to understand the intent of the words included in the post and adjusting for the obvious typographical error. It requires having goodwill toward people posting here, but that is in short supply on FT way too often.
