accidental death  

Definición

  • To die by accident is to experience a form of mortality that is unexpected, unplanned for, and unintentional. The key component to establishing a death as an accident is the absence of intentionality in its occurrence, namely, that the decedent did not intentionally act to produce a deadly outcome and that the deceased did not want to lose his or her life.
