:
I thought accidental death was where you caused someone's death purely through just that, an accident that is out of your control, while manslaughter is meant to be when you intended to cause harm/could have avoided causing harm by acting differently but didnt mean to kill the person? I may be wrong but that was how I understood it to be.
:
Involuntary manslaughter, sometimes called criminally negligent homicide in the United States, gross negligence manslaughter in England and Wales or culpable homicide in Scotland, occurs where there's no intention to kill or cause serious injury, but death is due to recklessness or criminal negligence.
Yeah I know it's Wikipedia, but there you go. Voluntary is when you have intent to hurt or damage someone, but it gets out of hand and it kills them instead.
