I would be surprised if there was any general rule or policy term that
entitled an insurance company to avoid paying out if the policyholder
commits suicide. Maybe it is occasionally inserted into a policy, but I
think customers should refuse to sign up to that.
However by all means check your policies or search online and see if you can
find a clause that deals with suicide.
