Life Insurance Discussion Regarding Suicide Benefits

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.

GET HELP. Suicide is not the answer if you need help financially.
