    What exactly was the cause of the intense emotional and physical experience in this case? Because that sure as fuck still sounds like murder to me.

    If you’re anaemic and I cut your arm and don’t let you do anything about it and you slowly bleed to death, I still was the murderer even if the anaemia killed you.

      No no. You don’t understand. It wasn’t the knee on his neck that killed him. It was his feelings about the knee on his neck.
