There was fund-raising for her funeral, so she certainly received something

I thought insurance didn't pay out for suicides? Maybe that's just a popular plot device and has little basis in reality that I just accepted as truth.... but I'm drunk on Reddit so I won't bother researching...

It does so long as you don't buy it intending to suicide, policies will often exclude suicide for 1-2 years as well.

Many states have statutes that actually prohibit denying life insurance benefits if it’s been a certain amount of time after the policy was purchased. Usually a year or two.
