Wouldn't leaving him out to fen for himself in the wilderness be a crime? I would sure think so! And then if the commission of that crime led to or caused his death, then what would that additional crime be called?
Well YES I'm sure it is a crime. But in his own mind he may not view it as such.
I have friends whose dad, a heavy drinker, often pulled over on the highway and told them to get out of the car if they were arguing with him or each other and he was tired of hearing it. He would come back for them in half an hour or so. I'm sure that was a crime. But he didn't even INTEND for them to die. They were teens and if something had happened to them when they were walking on the highway it would surely be his fault, negligence or something. But I don't know that it would be murder, more like negligent homicide or involuntary manslaughter or something.
