I hope the government adopts this and then SERIOUSLY funds suicide prevention and mental health.

I agree that this is great news and in my opinion the right to decision to make.

I believe that in most cases life insurance will still be paid if it is a suicide. The only stipulation I can recall from my life insurance policy regarding suicide is that any new coverage purchased 2 years prior to suicide will not be paid.
This is a brief quote from Manulife:
Quote:
Are there any limitations or exclusions to the Term Life Insurance plan?
If you commit suicide, while sane or insane, within two (2) years from the Effective Date, the amount payable by us will be limited to the sum of the premiums paid. It is important that you read your Insurance Policy when you get it to understand exactly what you are covered for.
