Dwight “Heavy D” Myers was just 44 years old. Authorities were called to the 400 block of North Maple Drive about 11:25 am, after a report that a man in his 40s was unconscious in a walkway near a building, said Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen. When they arrived, they found the man conscious and breathing and took him to the hospital. Law enforcement in Los Angeles, California also has reported, Heavy D had just returned from shopping and walked up some stairs when he began having trouble breathing. Adam Mills, a designer and Heavy D’s neighbor in the building, found him gasping for air and leaning against a railing on the walkway. He immediately called 911 and cradled Heavy D in his lap while they waited for paramedics. Mr. Mills also said Heavy D was conscious and said to him, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.” When paramedics took Heavy D to the hospital he had a pulse. Some people in the hospital …

A relative has just died. He had a life insurance policy with you listed as the beneficiary. There’s just one problem: the life insurance policy is missing. You have no idea which insurance company wrote it.

If you find the missing life insurance policy in the future, are you still eligible to receive the death benefit? Hope they paid their insurance bills

If you’re a beneficiary and you find the lost life insurance policy shortly after the insured dies (within six months to a year, for example), claiming the death benefit should be trouble-free.

First, determine if the insured had term or permanent life insurance. If the insured held a term policy, you’ll receive the death benefit if he died before the end of the policy term. If he died after the policy expiration date, you would get nothing.

If the insured had a permanent life policy, you’ll receive the money if the death occurred while the policy was “in force,” meaning all premium payments were made up until the time of death. If the death was a while ago, you’ll receive the benefit with interest from the date of death.

If the life insurance policy lapsed — meaning the insured stopped making premium payments before he died — there’s a chance you might get nothing. When a permanent life insurance policy lapses, most insurance companies switch its status from permanent insurance to one of two options: “Extended term” — The insurance company uses the cash value of the policy to buy a term life insurance policy for the same death benefit using the cash value of the policy. The death benefit will continue for the longest period the cash value will purchase. “Reduced paid up” — The insurance company will keep the policy in force permanently, but will reduce the death benefit.

Gerry Brogla, an actuary for State Farm, says in the majority of the cases at his company, the permanent policy continues as extended term if it lapses. At State Farm, extended term is the default option for most permanent policies.

If the policy lapses, and the extended-term period expires before the insured dies, the policy is worthless and the life insurance beneficiary will get nothing. If the insured dies before the extended-term period is up, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit. If the policy lapsed because the insured died (thus ending premium payments and causing the insurance to be placed in extended-term status), the beneficiary will still collect the full death benefit, regardless of when the extended term was up. The beneficiary always needs to supply the insurance company with a death certificate to verify the date of death.

There is no time limit during which a life insurance beneficiary must step forward to collect the money, according to Jack Dolan, spokesman for the American Council of Life Insurers. “If a person shows up 30 years after [the insured's] death, the company still makes good on it,” Dolan assures. What happens if no one ever reports the death?

If the insured dies and the insurance company does not learn of the death, the policy lapses. Insurance companies will take steps to find out why a policyholder stopped making payments.

When an insurance company stops getting payments, it sends letters to the insured informing him the policy may lapse as a result of unpaid premiums. If the letters go unanswered, the company might initiate a search to find the insured. If that comes up empty, the company will then lapse the policy.

If a beneficiary to a policy never steps forward, it unfortunately means the insured paid money to a policy throughout his life and his beneficiaries never see a penny. This is why its a good idea to make sure beneficiaries are aware of any life insurance policies you have.

If you’re lucky, the state may have your money

In some cases when a beneficiary fails to claim a death benefit for several years, the money is transferred to the state where the insurance policy was purchased under the escheat laws.

If a company knows an insured died and it cannot find the beneficiary, it must turn the full death benefit over to the state comptroller’s department within three to five years of the insured’s death. The money is transferred to the state where the insured bought the policy. The money is considered “unclaimed property” and gets lumped in with dormant bank accounts and uncollected rent deposits. The comptroller’s department maintains a database that lists the names and addresses of lost life insurance beneficiaries.

Many states will try to contact life insurance beneficiaries in an effort to pay the death benefits. In Texas, for example, the names and addresses of the beneficiaries are published annually in each county in the state. In New York, the Web site of the New York State Comptroller’s Office of Unclaimed Funds has an online search to find any unclaimed death benefits owed to you. You can find out the procedures in your state by contacting the office of your state comptroller or treasurer.

Keep in mind your chances of finding the policy with the state are slim. The insurance company has no obligation to hand the money over to the state if it’s unaware the insured died. In most cases, it’s the beneficiary who contacts the insurance company.

Also, the insurer only transfers the money to the state three to five years after it cannot find the beneficiary but knows the insured died. If the state doesn’t have the death benefit, it’s likely the insurer is still looking for the beneficiary or doesn’t know the policyholder has died.

Unclaimed death benefits are rarely transferred to the state. Dave Potter, a spokesman for Hartford Life, says less than 1 percent of his company’s death benefits go unclaimed.

Del Chance, a life insurance claims manager at State Farm, says, “Turning over life policy benefits to an individual state after the death of an insured is extremely rare. State Farm utilizes their own search techniques as well as outside vendors to locate lost beneficiaries in the event of the death of one of our insureds. By and large these procedures have always located the beneficiary.Tips for making sure your life insurance beneficiaries get your death benefit:

1. Give your beneficiaries your policy information. It can be a difficult and awkward conversation, but an important one.

2. Keep all your financial records (especially your life insurance policies) in one place. Don’t force your beneficiaries to search your house from top to bottom after you die.Tips for looking for lost life insurance policies:

1. Go through canceled checks or contact your relative’s bank for copies of old checks. Look for checks made out to insurance companies.

2. Ask those who may have known about your relative’s finances. Speak with the relative’s lawyer, banker or accountant. Also contact the relative’s insurance agent.

3. Contact your relative’s past employers. They might know of possible group life insurance. The insured might have also purchased supplemental life insurance through work.

4. Check the mail for a year. Premium bills and policy-status notices are usually sent annually.

5. Look at income tax returns for the past two years. Check for interest income from policies or expenses paid to life insurance companies.

6. Contact the Medical Information Bureau. If your relative bought life insurance fairly recently, there might be a trail of the companies to which he applied. The Medical Information Bureau (MIB) maintains a database that might show if insurers requested your relative’s medical information within the past seven years. Record searches can be requested through the MIB’s Policy Locator Service and cost $75. The MIB says that nearly 30 percent of searches turn up leads.

Just consult any medical glossary and they will tell you that heart disease is a kind of disorder in which heart loses its abilities and its normal functioning is affected. The coronary arteries in the heart are responsible for supplying blood into the heart. The narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries is regarded as the commonest cause of all kinds of heart diseases. However, it is a slow process of deterioration that takes place gradually over time. But there are a considerable percentage of populations that are born with heart disorder and these are called congenital heart diseases.

Just go through the estimates of the World Health Organization: Nearly 17 million deaths recorded worldwide were due to the poor cardiovascular health. Take the instance of USA and half of the total numbers of deaths every year are caused by some kind of heart disease. About 70 million Americans live with some form of cardiovascular disease.

Every day some 2500 deaths occur due to heart dysfunction. Why only USA, in majority of the countries in the developed world, you will find a sizeable population falling victim of some kind of heart disease. Not only the developed countries, heart related deaths are quite common in the many developing countries as well. In a nutshell, in the recent years, heart disease has emerged as the common enemy of the entire adult population of the world.

Poor cardio vascular health may manifest in several ways. High blood pressure, coronary artery dysfunction, valvular heart disease, stroke, or rheumatic fever or rheumatic heart diseases are all different versions of a weak heart.

It has been possible to identify a number of risk factors behind this killer disease, thanks to the incessant efforts of the medical researchers. Risk factors refer to the specific factors that play a crucial role in a person’s chances of developing heart disease. There are mainly two types of risk factors: major and contributing.

While the major risk factors are those having proven record of enhancing the chances of your getting heart disease, the contributing risk factors are those that have possibilities of triggering off heart disease, but it has not been defined how they do it. While these factors such as high blood pressure or hypertension, high cholesterol level in the blood, diabetes, smoking, sedentary lifestyle or obesity are among the major risk factors, stress, sex hormones or birth control pills are some of the contributing factors.

There are many risk factors that can be treated. But there are some that can not be changed. But it is possible to control most of the risk factors if you lead a healthy lifestyle.

Death penalty is the most cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. It violates the right to life. There is a possibility of innocent persons being awarded death sentence if he/ she becomes unable to prove his/ her innocence for reasons beyond his/ her control. It has never been observed that death penalty has been able to deter crime more effectively than other punishments. As an organization dedicated to the protection and promotion of human rights, Amnesty International (AI) works for an end to executions and the abolition of death penalty world over. The progress has been dramatic. When the AI convened an International Conference on the Death Penalty in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1977, only 16 countries abolished capital punishment for all crimes. Today the report card is impressive.78 countries and territories have abolished the death penalty for all crimes.* 15 countries have abolished death penalty for all but exceptional crimes such as wartime crimes.* 24 countries can be considered abolitionist in practice: they retain the death penalty in law but have not carried out any executions for the past 10 years or more and are believed to have a policy or established practice of not carrying out executions, making a total of 117 countries which have abolished the death penalty in law or practice.78 other countries retain and use the death penalty, but the number of countries which actually execute prisoners in any one year is much smaller. Executions carried out in the following countries in 2003 Bangladesh, Belarus, Botswana, Chad, China, Congo (Democratic Republic), Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Kazakstan, Korea (North), Mongolia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Somalia, Sudan, Taiwan, Thailand, Uganda, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen and Zimbabwe. Death Sentences imposed in the following countries in 2003 Algeria, Armenia, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, China, Congo (Democratic Republic), Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guyana, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakstan, Korea (South), Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestinian Authority, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, Rwanda, Saint Lucia, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Swaziland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad And Tobago, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen and Zambia. As per the official statistics available with the Amnesty International till 2003, at least 1,146 people were executed in 28 countries. Similarly, at least 2,756 people were sentenced to death in 63 countries. These figures include only cases known to Amnesty International; the true figures were certainly higher. International Agreements to Abolish the Death Penalty One of the most important developments in recent years has been the adoption of international treaties whereby states commit themselves to abolishing the death penalty.The Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, has been ratified by 52 states. Eight other states have signed the Protocol, indicating their intention to become parties to it at a later date. The Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights to Abolish the Death Penalty, has been ratified by eight states and signed by one other in the Americas. Protocol No. 6 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention on Human Rights), has been ratified by 44 European states and signed by one other. Protocol No. 13 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention on Human Rights), has been ratified by 24 countries and signed by 18 others. Protocol No. 6 to the European Convention on Human Rights is an agreement to abolish the death penalty in peacetime.The Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights provide for the total abolition of the death penalty but allow states wishing to do so to retain the death penalty in wartime as an exception. Protocol No. 13 to the European Convention on Human Rights provides for total abolition of death penalty in all circumstances. High Execution Countries As in previous years, majority of executions worldwide were carried out in a few countries. In 2003, 84 per cent of all known executions took place in China, Iran, the USA and Vietnam. In China, limited and incomplete records available to Amnesty International at the end of the year indicated that at least 726 people were executed, but the true figure was believed to be much higher: A senior Chinese legislator said in March 2004 that China executes “nearly 10,000″ people each year.At least 108 executions were carried out in Iran. Sixty-five people were executed in the USA. At least 64 people were executed in Vietnam. Abolition of death penalty in law or practice in over half the countries in the world have set the path for the remaining states who continue to violate the right to life. While releasing the statistics on worldwide executions carried out during 2003, Amnesty International called on the UN Commission on Human Rights to take strong action against death penalty at its recent annual session, and urged to end all executions. In a resolution adopted last year, the UN Commission on Human Rights called on countries that retain capital punishment “to establish a moratorium on executions”.The AI also reiterated its opposition to the use of the death penalty against child offenders — people who were under 18 at the time of the offence. The recent statistics revealed that two child offenders were executed in 2003, one in China and the other in the USA. Amnesty International’s report revealed that China, Iran, the USA and Vietnam accounted for 84 percent of the 1,146 known executions carried out in 28 countries in 2003. In China, limited and incomplete records available to Amnesty International indicated that at least 726 people were executed in 2003, but the true figure was believed to be much higher. Abolition of death penalty in law or practice in over half the countries in the world have set the path for the remaining states who continue to violate the right to life. While releasing the statistics on worldwide executions carried out during 2003, Amnesty International called on the UN Commission on Human Rights to take strong action against death penalty at its recent annual session, and urged to end all executions. The Deterrence Argument Scientific studies have consistently failed to find convincing evidence that death penalty deters crime more effectively than other punishments.The most recent findings of a survey on the relation between death penalty and homicide rates, conducted for the United Nations in 1988 and updated in 2002, concluded: “… it is not prudent to accept the hypothesis that capital punishment deters murder to a marginally greater extent than does the threat and application of the supposedly lesser punishment of life imprisonment.” (Reference: Roger Hood, The Death Penalty: A World-wide Perspective, Oxford, Clarendon Press, third edition, 2002, p. 230) Effect of Abolition of Death Penalty on Crime Rates Reviewing the evidence on the relation between changes in the use of the death penalty and homicide rates, a study conducted for the United Nations in 1988 and updated in 2002 stated: “The fact that the statistics continue to point in the same direction is persuasive evidence that countries need not fear sudden and serious changes in the curve of crime if they reduce their reliance upon the death penalty”. Recent crime figures from abolitionist countries fail to show that abolition of death penalty has harmful effects.In Canada, for example, the homicide rate per 1,00,000 population fell from a peak of 3.09 in 1975, the year before the abolition of the death penalty for murder, to 2.41 in 1980, and since then it has declined further. In 2002, 26 years after abolition, the homicide rate was 1.85 per 100,000 population, 40 per cent lower than in 1975. (Reference: Roger Hood, The Death Penalty: A World-wide Perspective, Oxford, Clarendon Press, third edition, 2002, p. 214) In conclusion, the Manavadhikar Samajik Manch, in line with the thinking and activities of the Amnesty International, does believe that death penalty should be stopped. We do feel that death penalty is the most cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and a flagrant denial of the right to life

 

The Life and Death of Public RecordsSometimes it’s the small abuses scurrying below radar that reveal how profoundly the Bush administration has changed America in the name of national security. Buried within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 is a regulation that bars most public access to birth and death certificates for 70 to 100 years. In much of the country, these records have long been invaluable tools for activists, lawyers and reporters to uncover patterns of illness and pollution that officials miss or ignore.

 

In These Times has obtained a draft of the proposed regulations now causing widespread concern among state officials. It reveals plans to create a vast database of vital records to be centralized in Washington and details measures that states must implement — and pay millions for — before next year’s scheduled implementation.

 

The draft lays out how some 60,000 already strapped town and county offices must keep the birth and death records under lock and key and report all document requests to Washington. Individuals who show up in person will still be able to obtain their own birth certificates and, in some cases, the birth and death records of an immediate relative, and “legitimate” research institutions may be able to access files. But reporters and activists won’t be allowed to fish through records, many family members looking for genetic clues will be out of luck, and people wanting to trace adoptions will dead-end. If you are homeless and need your own birth certificate, forget it: no address, no service.

 

Consider the public health implications. A few years back, a doctor in a tiny Vermont town noticed that two patients who lived on the same hill had ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Hearing rumors of more cases of the relatively rare and always fatal disease, the doctor notified the health department. Citing lack of resources, it declined to investigate. The doc then told a reporter, who searched the death certificates filed in the town office only to find that ALS had already killed five of the town’s 1,300 residents. It was statistically possible, but unlikely, that this 10-times-higher-than-normal incidence was simply chance. Since no one knows what causes ALS, clusters like this one, once revealed, help epidemiologists assess risk factors, warn doctors to watch for symptoms,and alert neighbors and activists.

 

Activists in Colorado already know what it is like when states bar access to vital records. For years, they fought the Cotter Corp., claiming that its uranium mining operations were killing residents and workers. Unwilling to rely on the health department, which they claimed had a “cozy” relationship with the polluters, the activists tried to access death records, only to be told that it was illegal in this closed-records state. An editorial in Colorado’s Longmont Daily Times-Call lamented, “If there’s a situation that makes the case for why death certificates should be available to the public, it is th[is] Superfund area.”

 

Some of state officials around the country are questioning whether the new regulations themselves illegally tread on states’ rights. But the feds have been coy. Richard McCoy, public health statistic chief in Vermont, one of the nation’s 14 open-records states, says, “No state is mandated to meet the regs. However, if they don’t, then residents of that state will not be able to access any federal services, including social security and passports. States have no choice.”

 

But while the public loses access to records, the federal government gains a gargantuan national database easily cross-referenced in the name of national security. The feds’ claim that increased security will deter identity theft and terrorism is facile. Wholesale corporate data gathering is the major nexis of identity theft. As for terrorism, all the 9/11 perpetrators had valid identification.

 

Meanwhile, the quiet clampdown on vital records is part of a growing consolidation of information at the federal level. “That information will dovetail with the Real ID Act of 2005,” says Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. “Real ID cards are the other shoe that is scheduled to drop in three years.” That act, signed into law last May, establishes national standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards, and centralizes the information into a database.

 

Aside from public health and privacy concerns, closing vital records incurs a steep intangible cost: It undermines community in places where that healthy ethos still survives. In small town America, the local clerk’s office is a sociable place where government wears the face of your neighbor. Each year, Vermont’s 246 towns distribute their vital statistics to all residents. “It’s the first place everybody goes in the Town Report,” says state archivist Gregory Sanford. “Who was born, who died, who got married, who had a baby and wasn’t married.”

 

This may not be the most dramatic danger to democracy, but it is one of the Bush administration’s many quiet, incremental assaults on the health of America’s body politic. And it may end up listed on the death certificate for open society.
