Does Life Insurance Pay If You Are Murdered? 
Once the cause of death is certified as a homicide , then an investigation of all beneficiaries and anyone else who would benefit from the death of the insured takes place . If the homicide is not based directly or indirectly on any of the beneficiaries of the policy , death benefit proceeds should be paid . If the beneficiaries when involved in the homicide , the claim more than likely would be denied .
