If, while insured under this Coverage, You are in an Accident resulting in the disappearance, sinking or damaging of an air or water conveyance on which You are covered by this Coverage, and if Your body has not been found within 52 weeks from the date of the Accident, it will be presumed, unless there is evidence to the contrary, that You suffered loss of life as a result of those Injuries.
These benefits will not duplicate any other benefits payable under the Policy or any coverage(s) attached to the Policy.
