The four types of homicides are: murder, manslaughter, homicide by culpable negligence, and miscellaneous homicides.
The term "murder" means a premeditated or preplanned killing of another person. You may be thinking of unintentional homicide, which could range from manslaughter by culpable negligence to justifiable homicide. In the case of the latter, the person must be committing a lawful act in order to claim justifiable homicide - self-defense or accident. He could still be charged with homicide by culpable negligence.
Criminal negligence charges are brought when reckless action, often coupled with the intention to cause harm, results in bodily injury or property damage to a victim. Leaving a child in a hot car is a common act of criminal negligence.
Manslaughter - The unjustifiable, inexcusable and intentional killing of a human being without deliberation, premeditation and malice. The unlawful killing of a human without any deliberation, which may be involuntary, in the commission of a lawful act without due causation and circumspection. Negligent Homicide - the criminal offense committed by one whose negligence is the direct and proximate cause of another's death. Criminal homicide constitutes negligent homicide when it is committed negligently.
