  1 21 occupational illness, or a chronic, progressive, or
  1 22 congenital illness, including, but not limited to, a
  1 23 disease of the heart, lungs, or respiratory system,
  1 24 unless a traumatic personal injury was a substantial
  1 25 contributing factor to the special service member's
  1 26 death.
  1 27    (2)  The death was caused by the intentional
  1 28 misconduct of the special service member or by the

  1 31    (3)  The special service member was voluntarily
  1 32 intoxicated at the time of death.
  1 33    (4)  The special service member was performing the

  1 35 manner at the time of death.
  1 36    (5)  An individual who would otherwise be entitled
  1 37 to a benefit under this subsection was, through the
  1 38 individual's actions, a substantial contributing
  1 39 factor to the special service member's death."
