ON APPEAL FROM THE APPELLATE DIVISION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF ONTARIO
The defendant insurance companies appealed from the judgment of the Appellate Division, Ont. (62 Ont. L.R. 83) which (reversing judgment of Meredith C.J.C.P., 60 Ont. L.R. 476) held that the deceased's death was not from suicide, but was an accident within the meaning of the insurance policies in question, and that plaintiffs were entitled to recover on the policies.
