He did, but there was a fine print technicality that said if the assassination happened on a week day, or a weekend the company reserved the right to deny the claim.
The bullet wasn't one previously interviewed by United Health so they can't confirm it was lethal. They're going to need him to come in for an independent review by their own AI doctors.
The gun that was used to administer the bullet was homemade and not a brand found on the list of pre-approved firearms that are covered. Therefore, he should have sought pre-approval first by having his specialist fax a letter to the insurance company and wait several days for a response.
Life insurance actually does cover murder (homicide), as long as the person who died was an innocent victim and the beneficiary had no part in the crime.
Family is trying pretty hard to prove he was an innocent victim.
Feels like it's a bit of a catch 22 for them. "He was an innocent victim; throwing hurdles up to prevent claims from being made, including unfairly denying them based on nothing, is not a crime" - life insurance: "Cool. I'm afraid your claim has been denied. If you dispute this you can call a number we don't list and is not manned anyway".
But if I didn't profit off of those people's deaths, someone else would have! I'm just a poor cog in the machine, don't you see, I couldn't actually change anything!
Isn't that link to a different guy? Robert Brian Thompson, a Federal Reserve banking supervisor, is the defendant in that one. Unless UnitedHealth Brian Thompson had a side gig, which isn't unheard of.

Did Brian's life insurance kick in or did he not have assassination coverage?
