RENFRO, Justice
(dissenting).
In my opinion suicide is the only reasonable hypothesis that is consistent with the evidence in the case. On authority of Supreme Court decisions, including Combined American Insurance Company v. Blanton, 353 S.W.2d 847, and Grand Fraternity v. Melton, 102 Tex. 399, 117 S.W. 788, I would sustain the trial court’s judgment to the effect that the evidence established conclusively that the insured’s death resulted from suicide, and that there was no evidence of probative force that his death resulted from accidental bodily injuries.
I would affirm the judgment.
