Yes the couple had sex issues... BECAUSE THE MAN HAD HYPERTENSION AND DIABETES!
Dude’s junk didn’t work. He was an engineer. He tried to make his junk work himself.
Good initiative, bad judgment. We got an app - er, PILL - for that!
Although perhaps his heart was too deemed too delicate for the little blue pills, so back to the drawing board - which I guess someone beat him to (pardon the pun), going by the items shown in post #25.
Death by stupidity, or too embarassed to order a device, but not suicide. Insurance should pay, IMO.
The insurance co. doesn't care if their narrative is plausible or not. Their goal is simply to protect the bottom line. I.e.: rather than admit the obvious: that a sexual deviant accidentally killed himself, they threw everything they had at the widow and children. From a secular perspective, such a business plan certainly makes perfect sense. I wouldn't personally want to answer for it on Judgment Day, however.
Two bits about insurance companies. The first from Katrina, where if a home had wind insurance, the company would not pay, claiming the damage was from the flooding; and if the home had flood insurance, the company would not pay, claiming the damage was from the wind.
The second was of a particularly vehement lawyer working for the insurance company of a power company. Some guy had the brilliant idea to lean his very tall, aluminum ladder against a tree branch he was cutting. When the branch was cut, it no longer supported the ladder, which fell forward into power lines.
After he had won the case, that this was not the fault of the power company, he volunteered to sue the estate of the dead man, for “misappropriation-theft of electricity”. The power company wisely told him no.
Those are two very interesting stories. I had my own personal, extremely vile experience w an ins. co. I try not to extrapolate from that one single experience to the entire industry, however. There are good and bad in every walk of life.
Did David Carradine’s life insurance policy pay out?
“Did David Carradines life insurance policy pay out?”
I have no idea. Most life ins. policies have a suicide clause that excludes pmt for suicide for at least a few years, some might always exclude it, I don’t know.
That makes sense to me, but even though it is gross, if you kill yourself in some stupid sex game, by accident, not on purpose, how is that different from falling off a ladder, etc.?
And wasn’t there some question that Carradine was murdered? I don’t know if that was ever a serious question or just the family being in denial.
I think the murder inquiry came from leaked details (true?untrue?) that David Carradine was tied up, unable to have choked himself to death with oxygen deprivation even if he was engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Probably paid someone (or met someone socially) who offered to play along and ran out when things required the authorities to step in.
You make a lot of sense.
