Im sure that has been posted many times, but I was just wondering if it was a common thing for a drug overdose to be insured in a contract such as this one. I never thought to much into this but it might be worth a second look…

Can only celebrities do that ??? I never heard of a Insurance Policy having that – you can have”Death of Overdose” but not from Natural Causes …. wow , that is strange.

Seems a little weird to have a 'drug overdose' clause in a contract with Michael Jackson; you could understand possibly if it was someone who had a public record of taking drugs (Shaun Ryder, Elton John, Jim Morrison, etc.).
Certainly doesn't make sense to put such a clause in a contract with Michael Jackson; who had a reputation of clean living with regards to the diet that he kept.

yeah its wierd – and initially I read an article which stated that AEG would not get paid the insurance money if MJ happened to “die” of natural causes……….I have been trying to find that link – i will post it when i find it (i read this a few days right after June 25th)…..but – this is def. odd – how come the insurance company wont pay for a natural death but will pay for drug overdose?????……its the first time i have ever heard of this :S
So right now, it just feels like AEG is the big FORCE pushing the alleged “drug addiction” story

Take this for what's it worth cause it's from TMZ, but I think this is what you are looking for.
Lloyd's of London — Overdose Clause?
Posted Jul 3rd 2009 2:41PM by TMZ Staff
 A spokesperson for Lloyd's of London tells us she's never heard of a case where her company has insured someone for a drug overdose.
AEG, the company that was promoting Jackson's London concerts, claimed yesterday the policy it took out from Lloyd's did not cover death from natural causes but did cover overdoses.
Louise Shield – the head of communications for Lloyd's of London — tells us such a policy is “odd” and that she's never heard the company insuring for drug overdoses.
What's more — Shield says the company typically requires a “medical assessment” …. a physical before the policy is written.
As we first reported, Jackson's body had dozens of injection sites in various places. So the question — how could a policy be issued with clear evidence of a problem?
Shield would not comment on the policy, and found it strange AEG discussed it publicly. She's not saying if overdoses were covered or not.

np- when I read your post I thought I read it on TMZ-so I went and looked. TMZ seems to add much to all this and the confusion.

I think whatever the country, all law has a weak point. Nothing is hard for a good lawyer. Just prove if you applied by yourself or if you have suffered the wrong medication dose unintentionally. It´s simple. But I also think it´s just another thing to divert attention from real facts.

I have been in insurance law for years, and I am tied to the entertainment industry and I have NEVER seen a clause like that. In fact, drugs are usually the reason why you CAN'T get insurance for a movie or tour project. I have never heard of an insurance policy specifically for one thing that entertainment-related insurance companies won't do….especially in light of the fact that they claim he went through the physical. That would show a natural cause related death would be covered but evidence of drugs at that time would negate the insurance.
This makes no sense to me.
