Dying Declaration

Endowment Insurance

The statement of a mortally injured person who is aware he/she is about to die, telling who caused the injury and possibly the circumstances (“frankie shot me”). although hearsay since the dead person cannot testify in person, it is admissible on the theory that a dying person has no reason not to tell the truth.
