Blind Items Revealed #6
May 9, 2019
A coroner has given a private investigator 90 days to convince her a recent celebrity death was a murder. The coroner was expected to close the case, but left it open because the coroner was intrigued by what the detective has discovered. Not convinced, but intrigued enough to leave it open for a short time.

Im thinking the family cant collect life insurance if suicide?
ReplyDelete@Vita: that could be, but then they’d just have to prove that the death was accidental, not murder.
ReplyDelete😩 If there’s something to discover, I hope it is found.
ReplyDeleteDoes it seem like Britain is less likely to rule deaths suicide? Is that in general or only high profile cases?
ReplyDeleteNo, Britain's had a number of cases where a death was ruled as suicide. If it's an accidental suicide - like auto-erotic asphyxiation - it's usually classed as "death by misadventure".
ReplyDelete@Lucky 13,thanks,that's something you rarely hear in the US.
ReplyDeleteI said all I needed to say in the comments when this was posted. Suffice to say the whole premise of this blind is incorrect as a matter of law and BS as a matter of fact.
ReplyDeleteThe inquest is closed. Open verdict does not mean open and ongoing inquiry. It's done with.
Thanks, Aquagirl! Details go right through the brain sieve of late!
ReplyDeleteSuicide is usually only excluded for the first two years of a life insurance policy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, who didn't see this coming? Has there ever been a celebrity suicide that Enty didn't say was really a murder?
He'd taken a cocktail of drugs. There's no way it was auto erotic asphyxiation. I very much doubt that, in that state, he could "rise to the occasion." It was either suicide or murder imo. I suspect suicide is the more likely of the two, especially as his girlfriend had ended their relationship prior to his death.
ReplyDeleteA cocktail of drugs usually means he had taken all of them before and not died, so it is impossible to say that it was suicide on purpose unless he left a note or if it was just 'misadventure' basically an accidental overdose.
ReplyDeleteThe cocktail of drugs I mentioned was in reference to the belief that he died due to auto erotic asphyxiation. A man with that amount of drugs in his system wouldn't be feeling frisky - much less able to get frisky in the first place..
ReplyDeleteHe had a local GF. The Japanese lady was his wife.
DeleteMet him both of us high as a kite in the loo's @ a rave in the 90's, a genuinely nice fella.
ReplyDeleteYou can collect on a life insurance policy if it’s murder or natural causes in some cases even an over dose, however in cases of suicide most life insurance policies have a clause that excludes suicide from any type of payout. There may be an addendum added that will include a payout on a suicide after a certain time frame passes but typically suicides are excluded from a life insurance payout.
ReplyDeleteDude looked pretty unstable to say the least.
