Natural Death

What Does Natural Death Mean?

Natural death is medically defined as death resulting from a disease or old age, rather than from external factors such as an accident or crime. If the deceased is insured, their beneficiary will receive a death benefit following the insured’s natural death.

Insuranceopedia Explains Natural Death

Natural deaths are covered by life insurance and are considered a common insurance risk. However, not every cause of death will result in a death benefit. For example, some life insurance policies do not pay out a death benefit if the insured takes their own life.
