SUICIDE- the act of malicious self-murder. however it has been decided in england
that where a man's life was insured, and the policy contained a proviso that "every policy effected by a person on his or
her own life should be void, if such a person should commit suicide, or die by duelling hands of justice," the terms of the
condition included all acts of voluntary self-destruction, whether the insured at the time such act was commited, was not
a moral responsible agent. In New York it has been held, that an insane person cannot commit suicide, because such a
person has no will.
