Sheryl Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Most travel insurance policies have a clause excluding suicide so if that was the cause of death, even if there had been a policy it might not cover costs of repatriating the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Every pic he had a beer in his hand when back at home, so if it was alcohol I would figure highly doubtful as he was an experienced drinker.. Feel for the dad though. Never should bury or burn your own kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and all them problems have been solved here,just don't take out travel insurance when going to a dangerous third world country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, RIP another young life taken. Travel insurance is always a good idea but doesn't cover everything in all cases. As we don't know the cause of death we don't know whether he was, or could have been covered we can't really make judgements. Repatriation after death abroad is possibly an exemption.

maximillian Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 17 hours ago, happy chappie said: what is even more sad is how the father has been left to beg for money to bring him back to Scotland and bury him because he was happy go lucky and never had £30-40 travel insurance.over £9000 has already been raised and what's wrong with a cremation in Thailand and ashes posted back.myself I'm getting a bit fed up with these stories of no insurance. People who give, give voluntarily. Did ever anybody ask you to donate ? Nobody will force you to do so. It's okey if you don't like the whole fundraising thing, but no need to get upset about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can acutely understand exactly where this father is at this moment. We're members of a small club and trust me, you don't want to be in it. My condolences to the father and family. I know it's simply devastating. And 'No', the pain never goes away. You just learn to live around it. Agree with your sentiment and there is another very small club that you do not want to be a member of. That is losing three wives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, so lets just continue this free for all with people catching cheap flights to countries who cant really afford to go in the first place, then when something goes wrong becoming a burden on everyone else. Sure you may be right about travel insurance not covering the return of the body, but what if he had been attacked and robbed and was now lying in the ICU? Without a doubt there would be a go fund me, too easy people thinking if something goes wrong they can just open a go fund me!! If you cant afford it, don't travel!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no problem with people donating you can all give as much as you want.the only thing I have a problem with is people flying out to dangerous third world countries to have the time of their life,adventure and party without travel insurance.then set up a go fund me account only for a large portion of that donation never reaching the person who it was intended for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest you allow others to decide what they should or should not do or say and worry more about the fact that your opinions are clearly unsound and unwanted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
