2448. Where the insured and the beneficiary die at the same time or in circumstances which make it impossible to determine which of them died first, the insured is, for the purposes of the insurance, deemed to have survived the beneficiary. Where the insured dies intestate, leaving no heir within the degrees of succession, the beneficiary is deemed to have survived the insured. In similar circumstances, the preceding policyholder is deemed to have survived the subrogated policyholder.
