Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured's death was probably caused by the reserved heart condition, excluding overobligatory survivor benefits.
Decisão extraída
The court held that the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was the most probable cause of death, so the health reservation applied to the overobligatory benefits.
Fundamentação extraída
The autopsy showed marked cardiac hypertrophy with findings consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and no evidence of other likely causes such as pulmonary embolism, coronary sclerosis, hemorrhage, or brain lesion. The lower court's weighing of the conflicting medical opinions was not arbitrary.
