YOu BE THE JUDGE

How Could He Leave Me Like This?

Kaveer, my darling, youre home early, Lat me get you some lea,

Prylanka hurried over to ralieve har husband af his briefcase,

Honey, your briefcase Is so heavy. ! know accourtanta must work hard. But youve been look- Ing sa tired lately.

Kaveer dropped like a lump Into his favorite wing chair and stared into space. Just as Pryianka brought the tea, Kaveer sprung up.

Prylanka, what am | doing, lounging around like a partner of the firm? Betore 4 start my evening work | must go down to the garage and fix the car brakes. Thayve bean giving me trouble lately. :

Prylanka cleaned up the kitchen and then sat down on the sofa walting for Kavaar to ratum.

She fell asleep.

At 11 p.m. Prylanka woke up with a start.

Kaveer? Where Is Kaveer? Its time tor bed,

She rushed down to the garage.

Why is it all dark? | know Kaveer likes to save pennies, but even he cannot fix a car without light,

She iurnad on the light. Evarything was sll, Abnormally sill. .

Suddenly the horror set in,

Kavaer! What Is ha doing, slumped over the whaal like that?

Prylanka dashed to open the car door.

The smell of exhaust fumes ovarwhelmed har.

Kaveer, KerveenriIlI1\((I0401/10S0{1)10 1111 ' Walling, Prylanka threw herself ovar Kavears still ody.

WHY, WHY DID YOU DO IT? WE WERE SO HAPPY, EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD. WORK, CHILDREN, OUR MARRIAGE.

Prylankas terrifying screams woke up thelr teen- age son. He rushed down to the garage. One glance, and he scrambled to the phone to call for halp.

BY CLAIRE BERNSTEIN

BASED ON ACTUAL COURT CASES

How could he laava ma like this?

The ambulance swept Into the driveway, sirens blazing.

Too lata, Kaveer was daad.

Tha police rushed In soon after. Shaking thelr heads, they examined the car,

No question. Suicide, Check this aut. The guy connected @ hose fo the exhaust pipe, led it into tha car and closed ali the doors. Then he ran the engine.

Kaveors ile insurance refused to pay. We pay for accidents. Suicide is not an accident.

Devastated, and worried for the future, Prylanka sued the insurance company.

In court, Prylanka spoke quietly, Your Honor, this was a horrible accident. Kaveer had no reason to commit suicide. But even if ha did kill himself, his death is still an accident In the eyes of the law, wiping a tear, Prylanka shuttled through papers. Ontario law defises accident as ‘an incident in which the use or operation of an aulomobile causes an impairment. That fits my husbands death. Please, it was accident.

The Insurance company wouldnt budge, Your Honor, lets face it, Kaveer committed suicide. Why else would a hose be connected to the exhaust pipa and fad Into the car? A suiclde is certainly no accident, An accident is a tornado or an Icy road. We shouldnt hava to pay for something like this,

Should the insurance company pay Prylanka benefits? YOU! BE THE JUDGE. Then took below lor the decision. ,
