What is a prexisting condition to....Murder?

Man is shot in the back, but accidental death insurance is denied because he has Hep. C! Gotta love those insurance companies. Malcolm X's Dad commited suicide by beating himself unconsious, tying himself up and lying on a rail road track, according to their insurance.

After her husband was murdered by being shot in the back, Settlers Life Insurance refused to pay his widow's claim because, the insurer said, he had a "pre-existing medical condition," the widow says in Knox County Court.
Stephanie Ross McCraw, whose husband was killed in April 2008, wants her claim paid and damages for bad faith

What a load of horse hockey. Insurance companies are the devil! cussing

If he had actually died from the pre-existing medical condition, then I would understand. They shouldn't have insured him in the first place if they weren't going to pay because of it... no matter how he died. This is so typical... We have no problem with taking your premium payments just don't ask us to do what we say we will do. We are a company, lady! We are in the business of earning money, not handing it out!
