I
find it rather disturbing that someone
would be asking for help in how to commit
suicide and to make their death look natural
so that the life insurance would pay out.
This was one of many post that I have
read while doing research.
QUESTION: Can you purchase life insurance
and then immediately commit suicide?
To answer this question, we asked Erik
Haynes of Conservest Inc. located in Toronto,
Ontario. According to Erik "You can't
buy a policy today, kill yourself tomorrow
and have your beneficiaries reap the cash
benefits of your death". Most policies
have at least a 2 year waiting period.
Hopefully, during that time, people looking
at a solution such as this, would seek
help professionally if they feel like
they are in a hopeless situation.
The other point is this: how would the
beneficiaries of this "suicide money"
feel? Even though they receive $250,000
or $500,000 cash benefits, this money
would be pretty sour for them to spend
knowing you killed yourself so they could
get it!
Check with your life insurance agent and
read your life insurance policy to know
what you have agreed to.
I'm pretty floored that people talk about
suicide so openly on the internet. While
it may seem anonymous, the police should
be monitoring those types of posts and
giving people help.
I noticed that after checking these posts
again, that it stopped. I am hoping that
they have sought help for themselves.
