hmm, I see that they have suspended their death benefit to discourage suicide. maybe death benefits shouldn't cover suicide at all

- ars 16y agoSee here: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2746/would-life-insurance-be-paid-out-on-someone-executed-for-a-crime http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2746/would-life-ins... Basically they don't for the first two years, then they do (for life insurance anyway).
- josefresco 16y agoMy thoughts exactly. Why not keep the benefits which are good but add a clause for suicides. Maybe that is what happened but it got mis-reported by the media.
- sliverstorm 16y agoThat would probably wind up with some pretty horrific situations. It's not always clear if a death was a suicide. Combine ambiguity with LARGE sums of money...
