What about when it comes to Life Insurance? Is the life insurance voided?

The murder isn't a clean Dr. Kovorkinan style. The murder would be a hired gun.

On the death certificate, I am pretty sure that can't list two causes of death. Which would it be murder or suicide?

Both.
The person doing the killing is committing either murder or assisted suicide (or both) depending on the specific phrasing of the laws in the jurisdiction.
You are also committing suicide (indirectly, through an agent).

If you kill somebody, it's murder (otherwise, murderers would just say that they were paid to do it and shouldn't be prosecuted because they were just doing their jobs.)
Angelina Jolie hired a hitman to kill her, but he said he wouldn't do it for a month. In that month, she decided she didn't want to die.
So he didn't kill her.
Most people who attempt suicide, if given the proper treatment after the fact, say that they no longer want to die and that the suicide attempt was a mistake. If you or someone you know is considering suicide or hiring a hitman, get help. Get meds, therapy, a voluntary or involuntary commitment.
Call the cops if you have to.
It's still suicide, and it's still a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
So don't do it.

It is called suicide by hire.
For insurance purposes if they can prove the person hired them to kill themselves it would be ruled suicide as far as the insurance company is concerned.
The gunman would of course be charged with murder.

Some life insurance policies have a "waiting period" during which they will not cover death by suicide, others exclude it completely, as any intentional self-inflicted injury would not be an "accident" for which insurance is available.

It's murder, if it is successful. And the insurance company does not have to pay. Courts aren't stupid, and it is excepted from your policy.

they will be charged with murder - intentional unlawful killing of another or grevious bodily harm if you survive.
If you survive, you could be charged as a party or accessory (assistant to the murder).

Well, i would assume both. Because they are killing you, but not necessarily by their own will, and you hired them, it is a way of killing yourself, so both.
