I dont know the exact legal term, but I am aware there is a law that states it doesnt matter what is in the victims medical history, if your actions lead to their death. Meaning if you hold up a gas station and a person with a heart conditon drops dead from shock, you are responsible for their death, their medical state is not a factor. Felony Murder rule ? That might apply if the accused kids were robbing a station and caused the poor girl to drop dead . Are those the facts here ?

No the point is, if your actions result in the death of anyone you are resonsible, regardless if that person had a weakened mental or physical state to begin with.
