Does (Spoiler)'s Death = 2nd Degree Murder?

Javier intends to kill Bill the golfer.


1. Javier shows Bill the syringe with drugs that will kill him by emulating a heart attack.

2. He tells Bill he's going to kill him.

3. He tells him not to run.


Bill does indeed run, trips on a root (I think), falls and dies from head trauma and/or a broken neck.

I'm wondering - does this constitute 2nd degree murder? Javier is no doubt responsible, and then he kills Bill's poor wife.

I don't think it constitutes manslaughter.

Good old Wikipedia defines voluntary manslaughter as

Voluntary manslaughter is the killing of a human being in which the offender had no prior intent to kill and acted during "the heat of passion", under circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_manslaughter

There was certainly intent to kill and Bill died, just not in the manner Javier intended.

Also - what crime is it to verbally threaten to kill someone?

I'm not trying to be morbid - just wondering from a legal perspective.
