Who commits manslaughter?

Manslaughter is typically committed by individuals who cause the death of another person through negligent or reckless behavior, without the intent to kill. This can occur in situations such as impaired driving, altercations that escalate unexpectedly, or instances where someone acts in the heat of passion. The key distinction from murder is the absence of premeditation or intent to cause death. Legal definitions and consequences for manslaughter can vary by jurisdiction.
