Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the CourtStephens, J.
1. An allegation in the petition in a suit to recover on a life-insurance policy, that the gun which deceased had in his hand was accidentally discharged and that the load of shot went into his left chest, causing instant death, is sufficient as showing how the death of the deceased resulted from bodily injury received and effected solely through external, violent, and accidental means. The court did not err in overruling the demurrer on the ground that the allegation was defective in that it did not show “how the gun in the hand of” the deceased “was accidently discharged.”
