SEILER, Judge
(concurring).
Once the proposition is accepted that Sec. 376.620 applies to accident insurance and that suicide while insane is an accident, it must follow, as Judge Finch states, that the construction sought by the insurance company of exclusion (b) would nullify the statute if permitted, and it therefore appears to me the majority opinion reaches the correct result under the present state of the law. However, if defendant had raised the point, I would be inclined to agree with Judge Donnelly in his dissent that Logan v. Fidelity & Casualty Company, 146 Mo. 114, 47 S.W. 948 is wrong and should be overruled.
