Does life insurance pay out for unnatural causes?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure they can tell he didn't intend for this to happen

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It looks like suicide to me. His actions resulted in his own death.

But maybe his spouse did? I don't know, maybe I watched too much monk

I mean we are only now hearing about all these suppose threats he had gotten from her. My brother wonders how guy knew exactly where he was going to be. Wife most definitely could have been in on the hit.

He was about to give a speech at a conference that morning. Doesn't sound like it would be that hard to figure out where they would be.

Dude show up only minutes before he walked out. He didn't wait long and was saw talking on the phone before hand. Money says someone knew Ceo was walking out and when and alerted the killer. Could have been the wife making the call. CEO was also pretty calm and brave walking out when just the night before his wife had gotten a bomb threat the night before at 7pm.

Yeah her comments are definitely odd. This is opening some speculation. If this was a murder for hire by his estranged wife, that’s pretty fucking clever to write those words on the shell casings. If it does turn out to be, I wonder how it will change the public perception of this.

Absolutely. Even for suicide given a year or two. Unlike healthcare, life insurance pays on the nose. They only have 1 chance to get it right before customers run away.

Life insurance is actually pretty good about paying out. Their racket is more about the aggressive way they sell you the wrong policy to begin with. They make their money at the time of purchase, rather than by denying pay outs.

In fact, most insurance, other than health insurance, is actually run fairly well. It's almost like an insurance model isn't the correct model to use for handling healthcare.
