If someone with life insurance is killed does it void the contract?
Not all insurance contracts are the same, however, life insurance excludes death that results from war. It may or may not exclude suicide. It does not exclude accidental death or murder. Note that even if the death benefit is not paid, the premiums will still be returned.

This is still debated. It was officially ruled as a suicide, but many still believe that he was murdered.
Can you collect life insurance benefits after an anorexia death?
That is highly dependent upon who the policy is through. Contact the insurance company you have it through to see if you have reviewed the policy and you still do not have your answer. Each company is different on their stipulations for what they will and will not pay out for. They may treat it as suicide or a mental illness that they do not pay out for. That is a grey area.
Is it illegal to benefit financially when there is a premeditated suicide?
Life insurance policies normally will contain a clause that disallows a payment if the cause of death is suicide within the first year of the policy, but if the policy has been in force for over a year, then the benefit is still paid even if the cause of death is suicide. You can legally collect that payment (if you are the beneficiary) even if you originally took out the policy knowing that the insured person was eventually going to commit suicide. However, if you in some way caused this person to commit suicide, that is another matter. To counsel suicide is considered a crime. So there are various legal issues depending upon the circumstances.
Does life insurance covers suicide in Missouri?
Before 2007, Missouri did not allow life insurance policies to exclude suicide, except that the insurer could avoid payment if it could be proven that the policyholder contemplated suicide when he bought the policy. Some resources will incorrectly state that this is still the law, thereby causing confusion. In about 2007, the law was changed and now insurance companies may exclude suicide for one year after the policy is purchased (in Missouri). After one year insurance companies must pay for death by suicide, even though the policy may recite a longer exclusion period. Note that an insurance company may initially deny your claim after the one year period hoping that you won't know the law and will go away. If the insured commits suicide within the one year exclusion period, the insurance company must return the premium with interest. The Missouri law is located at the link below.
What is Virginia law on suicide and life insurance policies?

When people who committed suicide do those people still go to Heaven?
I think it really depends on the person's relationship with God before the suicide. There is no way to know for sure, but whether a person goes to heaven or hell depends on their life prior to their death.
