I heard he was renting it out on Turo. That is unconfirmed. I have no source.

True or not to this specific situation, in general, that is definitely the kind of reason you might get dropped if you didn't get the proper insurance.

Yes. If this is true the owner should be happy they did this before trying to make a claim. Often people break the terms of the insurance and then when a claim is made they are denied all coverage.
