in reply to Quick regex question

Sounds like you want the following
/(?:sudden|unexpected)? death(?! benefits)|deceased|passedaway|died|dy +ing/
If you want to force the file to not have death benefits at all, then you could use the following:
/^(?!.*death benefits).*(?:(?:sudden|unexpected)? death(?! benefits)|d +eceased|passedaway|died|dying)/
But probably be cleaner to just separate the regex's
!/death benefits/ && /(?:sudden|unexpected)? death(?! benefits)|deceas +ed|passedaway|died|dying/
