Grill dies when PFD removed.


Is it not just as likely that the person attempting the rescue thought, by
putting on the PFD, he could save the girl and himself?  The girl could not
save both of them, could she?  Had he intended to let her die, it would have
been murder.  Manslaughter is criminal negligence.  Still a homicide, but
far from murder.
