This Sportsnet article addresses that a bit.

Quote:
According to the Crown Prosecution Service website in the United Kingdom, manslaughter "is primarily committed in one of three ways."
"1. Killing with the intent for murder but where a partial defence applies, namely loss of control, diminished responsibility or killing pursuant to a suicide pact.
"2. Conduct that was grossly negligent given the risk of death, and did kill ("gross negligence manslaughter"); and
"3. Conduct taking the form of an unlawful act involving a danger of some harm that resulted in death ('unlawful and dangerous act manslaughter')."
I would imagine the only thing they have is gross negligence unless players heard him say....watch this. Or he was practicing his wheel kick on skates yelling Donald like phrases. I am not trying to belittle the fact that Adam Johnson lost his life in what most of us think is an accident.
This is indeed most curious as the Professor states.
