39. Is "playing" listed on the police report

Or is it just idle speculation of the writer of the article?

Legally accidental death cases are not as open and shut as most would think, here is an interesting piece revolving around auto fatalities and charges, some parts can translate to other death cases.

It starts with a woman being killed crossing a cross walk which would seem like an open and shut case but no charges were filed because quoting from the article "Prosecutors decided not to charge the driver who killed Wiggins because he wasn’t intoxicated, speeding or using a cellphone, Carver County Attorney Mark Metz said. “It was dark out. He didn’t see her,” Metz said."

There is a legal difference between "neglect" and "criminal neglect" and depending on the circumstances it can mean the difference between a light, hard, or no sentence.
