| Questionable Death
The most frequent death investigations do not involve murder, but are initiated by insurance companies to gather specific information concerning the paying of insurance claims. Common investigation issues focus on beneficiary status, the status of the alleged dependents, personal habits of the deceased, and health history prior to the issue of the policy. Frequently interviews are conducted to correlate insurance application information with the evident health of the individual.
When suicide is an issue, most insurance companies are not required to pay more than the amount of total premiums paid into the insurance if the policy is less than 2 years old. Investigations can confirm the cause of death and explore the specific details involving an insurance claim.
