Yes, I did read it, but you can't possibly use that Reader's Digest version of the story to come to a conclusion. I'd bet the individual's insurance picked up the policy limits and the individual paid the rest. It also sounds like the story isn't correct. Almost made up, or passed around so much it changed to $20,000 and United shut-up about it.
I fail to see what the second part of your post has to do with getting a note. It is a fact and I won't argue that, but I don't see what it has to do with the original post.
