Would it really?  Certainly there have been cases of people missing and
presumed dead, declared dead by the court, and insurance collected, who
then were found to be alive.  Of course, the majority of these cases
probably involved actual fraud, but there must have been at least some
case law on it...perhaps in the early days of life insurance, when the
world was bigger and it was easier to get lost.
