    A life insurance policy in full force will usually pay the full death benefit, unless there is a clause in the policy specifically exempting this type of activity. The contestibility clause in most life insurance policies pertains to false or erroneous statements on the original application about one's health. For instance, if you have had cancer or heart trouble prior to applying for the policy, and you do not disclose that fact on the application, the company can refuse to pay the full death benefit; in such cases, the premiums paid in are refunded, at least in part.

    This particular type of death could possibly be classified as accidental, since it was not homicide nor suicide nor natural.
