Film Director (Top Gun) commits the suicide

    The only problem with this is that I believe he forfeits any life insurance he may have had. I may be wrong, but I thought there were suicide exclusions in most LI policies.

    He should have taken the more common route and become a meth cook...

    This is the weirdest thing. My ship yesterday and all last week was moored just before the bridge. We watched all the police boats yesterday wondering what happened. Figured someone jumped. Read this, this morning. Crazy stuff.

    I would think he probably has enough money in royalties and in individual funds that his life insurance policy wouldn't need cashed in anyway. It would probably be a wash given how much it would take to keep him alive or operate on him given the stage and type of cancer.

    He did not have inoperable brain cancer or any serious illness, according to TMZ.

    His wife must have had been a huge bitch.

    Suicide clauses are usually in place two years from the application date. After the two years the policy pays.

    Do YOU have an inoperable brain tumor? I'm betting you don't, thus you don't have the grounds to make a statement like that.
