Lifa Assurance - payout when killed commiting criminal act?

Careful_with_that_Axe · 2011-12-02 20:31:54

Recently found out an old neighbour of mine was electrocuted trying to steal some copperwork when he tried to run his drill from a mains power cable. Unfortunately, he leaves a wife and two young children. It got me thinking; would life cover pay out given that he was killed while carrying out a criminal act. Just curious.

Thank you for such a well-informed post and making it so clear, sheldon. Would it be usual for policies to have specific terms covering circumstances such as these in the small print?
