[quote=CRedskinsRule;737781]Not necessarily. A friend of mine lost his dad to suicide. The dad felt he could not give his wife and kids what they want, and saw suicide as the only way he could provide for them through a life insurance policy.[/quote]

At least from my knowledge Insurance doesn't pay on a suicide,at least no policy I have ever seen.Pretty much all insurers let that be known up front.

Typically, life insurance policies don't pay out for suicide within the first 2 years of the policy. After that they will pay.

Steroids and other illegal performance enhancing substances are proven to create mental instability and suicidal tendencies/thoughts.

Mental illness is real and impacts people of all walks of life. I wish this young man sought help.

RIP.

Some will have a 2 year clause, where after the 2 year mark suicide is payable, this is what my friend's dad had.
