would a 'suicide' on the death certificate invalidate one's ability to receive life insurance proceeds?

Spoiler: show

Hi,
I'm related to Chris Cornell and I am extremely upset about everything that has gone down the past 2 weeks. I need somewhere to speak out against Vicky because she's controlling the narrative on all of the media outlets. I want to speak to the fans, not the media. What was really going on is very sinister and my family may not agree with me but it needs to be acknowledged. I don't want my family member who I loved dearly to have a broken legacy because the truth wasn't spoken about. I will not disclose who I am, or any other specifics about our relationship. I just was very close with him. Basically, Vicky and her family have no respect for our family. They behave in a manner that insults us merely because we are seen as lower class citizens to her and always have. Chris was a good man with a heavy heart, and we all know that and love him even though he caused us a lot of pain. The truth is Vicky represented escapism to him, she was his way of escaping a life that asked him to be more honest with himself, something he always had a difficult time doing. When he ran off with her it was like he was becoming someone else in order to forget about what he once was. After he had two kids with this child (that's what we call her) he was locked in, and let it be known we barely have any relationship with those kids. Lily does because she spent time down there with them, but we don't. Anyways, Chris only handled his issues very superficially and never truly healed himself. He was living a lie, attempting to use his music as an excuse for his inability to truly face his issues. I know for a fact Vicky was emotionally abusive. She attacked him in his worst moments and he couldn't handle it. It's really that simple. He wanted it to be real, but it never really was real between them. She only enhanced his insecurities and bad behaviors without him ever realizing it until it was too late. I don't want to disclose much else right now, but this is what I wanted to get off my chest and out into the world of people who cherished him for who he was and not what he was seemingly financially worth.

this seems super believable, sadly

Unrelated but he told Stern there was no pre nup. Stern thought that was crazy.

One would hire a top insurance lawyer, deny it was a suicide and blame it all on Ativan just in case.

Stern is a big fan of those. He and Robin have even discussed that marriage should be like a 5 year contract. After that time, renew or go your separate ways.

As a teenager, when my parents were splitting up, I read a sci-fi novel that included that idea, marriage as a 1 year or 5 year contract, I thought it was a grand idea.

Why bother with marriage at all then? Just don't get married.

Yeah, that seems to miss the point.

He kinda looks like a Dr. Seuss character there.

The Scripts that Stole Chris

[given2trade]

Chris Cornell had several prescription drugs in his system when he hanged himself in a Detroit hotel room ... according to the toxicology report.
According to the report, obtained by TMZ, the singer had Naloxone (Narcan), Butalbital (sedative), Lorazepam (Ativan), Pseudoephedrine (decongestant) and barbiturates in his system at the time of death. It appears Chris had taken 4 (1 mg) Lorazepam tablets.
We broke the story, Vicky claims she was on the phone with Chris a half hour before his death ... when he began speaking in tones she hadn't heard since he was addicted to Oxycontin 14 years ago. She was so alarmed by the slurring and tone she asked Chris' bodyguard to break his hotel door down.
As we reported, cops observed fresh track marks on Chris' arm. According to the tox report, he had 4 needle puncture wounds on his left arm, but it appears the marks were from EMTs administering Narcan to counteract an opiate OD.
Family sources tell us Vicky and others are angry the medical examiner "jumped to conclusions" Chris committed suicide. They believe he was so high on drugs he did not really form an intent to kill himself ... he was out of his mind when he put the exercise belt around his neck.
In essence, Chris' family believes this was an accidental death.

4MG of Lorazepam is nuuuuuuuts. I take .5mg as needed for anxiety/panic.

Narcan?? That's what they give for opioid overdoses. Did someone give him this trying to revive him thinking he was hopped up on painkillers?

And butalbitol IS a barbiturate. It's stupid to report he had that and barbiturates in his system. It's like saying he had Lorazepam and benzodiazepines in his system. The butalbitol is a bit odd, tho. I've never seen it in a form by itself (not saying it doesn't happen, just that I've never seen it) as it's usually combined with other meds like an NSAID or aspirin and even caffeine for migraines.

I really don't see what reason there is to be upset with the medical examiners.

Me neither, but his widow really seems to like having a lot of attention thrown her way.
