Speaking of life insurance, I wonder how much money the CEOs family received depending on whether his death was a homicide or suicide.........

His company payout alone is $21m, life insurance will no doubt be multiples of that due to loss of earnings and I'm sure his package included his work paying the huge premiums.

Almost all life insurance policies have clauses voiding certain deaths. ie: Suicide/skydiving. all other cases pay the same that i've seen.

e: I forgot there were some clauses that paid more

Death by accident can pay out way more than normal. Happened in my family.

u/Superb_Wrangler201 Dec 09 '24

you're right. there's some supplemental clauses I remember now. I was wrong

The payout is the same, unless the policy is less than 2 years old and he kills himself, then they don't pay.

Even lower class people have have life insurance payouts that are large, so yeah I wonder what his family got. 50 mill is my guess.
