Appellant American Pioneer Life Insurance Company seeks to avoid its liability upon a credit life insurance policy issued to Lawrence E. Smith upon the basis that his statement in the application that “I am now in good health” was incorrect within the meaning of Ark. Stat. Ann. § 66-3208 (Repl. 1966). It is admitted that the insured suffered from diabetes mellitus, having been hospitalized in 1956, and that he remained on medication therefore until his death. It is also admitted that he suffered a heart attack in 1968, which resulted in his receiving a disability retirement and that he continued to make regular visits to his doctor and to take three different types of medication therefor until the time of his death on September 23, 1971. The trial court held in favor of the beneficiaries.
For the reasons set forth in Dopson v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 244 Ark. 659, 432 S.W. 2d 410 (1968), Life & Casualty Ins. Co. v. Smith, 245 Ark. 934, 436 S.W. 2d 97 and Union Life Insurance Company v. Davis, Adm’x., 247 Ark. 1054, 449 S.W. 2d 192 (1970), we reverse. Upon the admitted facts, we deem the statement “I am *950now in good health” to be an incorrect statement as a matter of law. Furthermore, we deem the proof as to materiality of the incorrect statement to be undisputed. Not only did the expert testify that the policy would not have been issued had the true facts been correctly stated but the autopsy reports shows the immediate cause of death as congestive heart failure.
Reversed.
