Primary Text
If there is a doubt, as between two or more
persons who are called to succeed each other, as to which
of them died first, whoever alleges the death of one prior
to the other, shall prove the same; in the absence of proof,
it is presumed that they died at the same time and there
shall be no transmission of rights from one to the other.
