Description
The plaintiff in the District Court, who is appellant here, brought suit against the Insurance Company as the beneficiary under two policies of insurance of $5,000 each on the life of her deceased husband. She seeks to recover the additional sum of $5,000 under a clause in each policy providing for payment of double indemnity "upon receipt of due proof that the insured died as a direct result of bodily injury affected solely through external, violent and accidental means, * * * provided that the double indemnity shall not be payable if death resulted from self destruction, whether sane or insane". The insured died as the result of a gun shot wound, and the company paid the face of the policies but denied liability for double indemnity. The sole question in the case was whether the death was accidental or suicidal, the plaintiff alleging that the defendant had been furnished with due proof of accidental death, and the defendant taking issue on this point and alleging that death resulted from self destruction.
