Imagine all the crap we’d be hearing if they did this to Islamoterrorists down at GITMO.

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.

The appellate courts usually favor the criminal element, the negligent, the incompetent or other wrongdoers. This principle seems to favor the widow in this case.

Goodness gracious great balls of fire.
This certainly was no suicide, nobody would choose such a method. What an embarassing way to die. What do you say to St Peter.....what does he say to you?

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

That’s a “conversation” which I don’t ever want to hear.

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.

They need to change their policies so that deaths from auto-erotica doesn’t count.

In future their policy should spell out that auto-erotica deaths aren’t covered.

The few times I’ve been bitten by a faulty outlet or exposed wire tell me that I’d not want to hook it up to my bidness for fun.

I didn’t know there was an epidemic.
I think a no perverts clause is a little overboard. They still insure people who drive cars and own cell phones...

Why would the insurance company even challenge payment? They can’t possibly believe the guy was TRYING to commit suicide by that method. Duh!
