    This happens in the developing world on occasion, with the assumption is that insurance pays out to the family. I’m 99% sure doing the deed yourself means it doesn’t pay out at all. Tragic all the way down.

      Except that this time it did pay out. The money didn’t come from life insurance, it came from his pension which would’ve been lost had he lived and been convicted

        Ah - that’s my bad, I forgot civilized places in the world had pension still and not speculative con jobs where we prop up the private industry via the stock market with retirement money.
