> Felony Murder Doctrine There needs to be a causal relationship between the criminal acts and the death. For example, suppose someone robs a bank while one of the patrons is present. The patron suffers a fatal stroke during the robbery. To prove murder the state would have to show that the stroke was caused or at least exacerbated by the crime. In the case in point without knowing the officer's medical history there is no way to know if the crime brought on the death. He may have been suffering from chronic heart disease -- many older police officers are -- or some other problem. The mere act of running, even if it brought on a heart attack, is not something extraordinary to police work. Officers are often required to exert themselves and if this man's heart was so weak that a short run killed him defense attorneys would have little trouble persuading the court that his death was due to natural causes.
