accidental death

Read a random definition: bill of particulars

A quick definition of accidental death:

Accidental death is when someone dies because of an unexpected event that was not planned or meant to happen. It is different from natural death, which happens because of old age or sickness. Brain death is when someone's body stops working and they cannot respond to anything around them. Civil death is when someone loses their rights because of a serious crime or by joining a religious group. Compensable death is when someone dies while working and their family gets money to help them. Instantaneous death is when someone dies right away after an injury, and immediate death is when they die soon after. Legal death can mean different things, like brain death or when a company goes bankrupt. Presumptive death is when someone is missing for a long time and is assumed to be dead. Simultaneous death is when two or more people die at the same time and it's hard to tell who died first. Violent death is when someone dies because of violence, like a gunshot or explosion. A death case is a legal case where someone may be sentenced to death, and a death benefit is money given to someone's family after they die.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Accidental death refers to a death that occurs due to an unexpected and unintentional event.

Example: If someone dies in a car accident, it is considered an accidental death because it was not intended or expected.

This definition explains that accidental death occurs due to an unusual event that was not voluntary, intended, expected, or foreseeable. An example of accidental death is a person drowning while swimming in a lake. The person did not intend to drown, and the event was not foreseeable. Accidental death is different from natural death, which occurs due to natural causes such as old age or illness. It is also different from death by one's own hand, which refers to suicide.

starfishies
16:25

[] c0bra1
16:25
no my schedule is horrible so i cant do any of these admitted students days which is why im in a predicament
starfishies
16:25
oof i see. you're going for BL presumably..?
[] c0bra1
16:25
vibes, col, and name-knowledge wise villanova seems better, but cardozo seems better for ip/entertainment offerings + the infinitesmal chance of transferring + the alumni from my undergrad who went there really liked it
starfishies
16:26
would you ever double deposit?
[] c0bra1
16:27
the only thing stopping me from double deposit is that it was strongly frowned upon or could have adverse consequences if the schools found out
[] c0bra1
16:27
if thats not a thing i would double for sure
starfishies
16:27
is that fr ive never heard that before thats kinda wild
starfishies
16:27
this cycle is crazy i feel like double deposit is warranted in a lot of cases
[] c0bra1
16:28
id be down to double to get more time to choose but i think for the factors that i listed it would be unlikely for those to change in a significant way
[] c0bra1
16:28
from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L
[] c0bra1
16:29
they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol
starfishies
16:30
ngl still a tough decision
starfishies
16:30
but if youre trying to end up in nyc ultimately it seems like the more obvious answer
[] c0bra1
16:31
yeahh thats what it keeps boiling down to lol
[] c0bra1
16:31
i think it would be easier for me to pick nova if the col in nyc wasn't something i was ready for but that's not a problem for me
starfishies
16:31
okay money man
[] c0bra1
16:31
