Culpable homicide can either indicate whether or not the killing of a human being involved malice aforethought on the part of the defendant. Malice aforethought exists when an individual acts with:

The intent to kill,
The intent to cause serious bodily harm, or
Reckless disregard of human life so that the person is considered to act with a depraved heart.

The culpable homicide could be done with the intent to commit the action that lead to the death, but this intent may not meet the legal definition of murder. If it does count as culpable homicide but does not qualify as murder, the homicide may be deemed to be manslaughter.

The statute that sets out this offense is FSS 784.05(3)
