Why should they have to pay benefits when someone kills themselves from stupidity and why would she admit to being married to this guy?

Well you know they paid the premiums.

To me it would depend on a couple of things. One is the language of the policy. Did it pay for suicide or not?

Also, was this a suicide or an accident. I’m thinking accident because it doesn’t seem likely that a person would chose to kill themselves this way.

The Ins. Co. said “deliberate act” but there are many acts that we make that we don’t think will kill us but do. So I don’t know if by saying “deliberate act” they mean he committed suicide, or should have expected to die.

An accident is an accident...it wasn't a suicide after all. If they disallowed every death due to rampant stupidity on the part of the deceased there would be damn few accidental death benefits ever granted.

Beats me and $$$$$$.

Still I can't imagine any amount of money being enough to make someone admit that was her husband.

I suppose it being an embarrassing way to die is eclipsed by the embarrassing fact that now EVERYBODY knows it.

Stupidity is the root of almost every accident. It’s pretty his going while coming was not intentional unless they were trying to preserve the pelt for sale.
