It's bad enough that she has to grow up without her daddy but now the insurance company won't pay out the life insurance policy to Matilda that Heath Ledger had taken out prior to his death because they say they believe he may have committed suicide.

The firm, which is owned by ING Americas, wrote the policy in June
2007, and the insurance money was due to be paid out to an unnamed
trustee who would hold the money until two-year-old Matilda comes of
age.

But they have so far failed to honour the document and have
launched their own probe into Ledger's death to establish if he
committed suicide, therefore voiding the policy.

The policy is worth $10 million dollars and Matilda's trustee has filed suit against the insurance company.  But, it's an uphill battle. The company also claims that Heath lied about saying he was not taking prescription drugs on the application.

The greed of insurance companies is disgusting but fortunately Matilda is too young to know what's going on.

But, in better news, Heath's family has gifted his entire $16.6 million dollar estate to Matilda, so she won't be hurting for cash.
