When does the risk increase to a point where it becomes suicide and the insurance doesn't pay out?
2 comments

Most life insurance policies in the US do pay out for suicide, typically after 12-24 months.
Why should it matter whether it was suicide or not?

"Heh, I'm going to kill myself so I don't have to work to support my family and they can have insurance money instead" is not a thought many people would have.
