I learned today, that if insurance companies come to the conclusion that your death was a suicide, then they don't even have to pay out your life insurance to your family. Pretty messed up.

correction, you do an ungodly amount of paperwork prior to getting denied.

And if you die you lose everything you paid for and your family gets none. Sounds great!
