a civil crime where a person's own actions lead to a death of another. Usually because the defendant was grossly negligent and setting in motion that leads to the victims death.
Example: A landlord who doesn't fix the Air Conditioner unit leading to the death of an elderly person during a heat wave.

It's supposedly when the negligence of one party leads to the death of another. However you die when God says it's your time, no matter what any human does with their hands.
