Quizplus · Accepted Answer

George's actions constitute a crime of involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide, as he had a duty to prevent foreseeable harm to Gary and failed to do so, resulting in Gary's death by drowning. In addition, failing to provide assistance to someone in distress in a natural or artificial water body is a violation of the duty to rescue laws, which are recognized in most legal systems.
