Right, but that’s still “bad behavior.” In some places felony + someone dies = felony murder :: misdemeanour + someone dies = involuntary manslaughter.

I think the minimal pair is something like losing control of a car and fatally swerving into another car because:

- you were driving like a maniac and hit ice==> culpable

- you were driving prudently for the overall conditions, but hit oil spilled on a dark road (or something else unforseeable) ==> not.
