My dad just had surgery to clear a massive DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)… and it seems to be semi-hereditary for my family so I listened to the doctor pretty closely. If he had exerted himself in any way that broke off even a little bit of the clot, he would have died… Would it be the injuries fault or the clots fault?
Anyone who solely blames an injury that dislodges the clot is missing the forest for the trees. In my dad’s case, it was a ticking time bomb for literally anything to dislodge it. Could have been as simple as walking that could have done it. They immobilized his leg immediately. In this case, for an injury the day prior… to be the dislodge event is a bit odd. It would have been pretty immediate from my understanding, it’s likely the injury loosened it, and some other inane event dislodged it completely. The clot already existed… and many other events could have triggered it to dislodge.
If this is the only individual that can be used as the example… I’m not onboard personally.

Seems to fit the definition to me. It was unlawful, unjust, and killed him.
but no one killed him. he died from a stroke, and the clot wasn’t caused by injury.
