A quick definition of involuntary euthanasia:

Involuntary euthanasia is when someone is killed or allowed to die without their consent, usually because they are very sick and suffering a lot. This is sometimes called mercy killing, but it is against the law in many places and can be considered a type of murder. In some countries, like the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal, but only under certain conditions. It is important to talk to your doctor and loved ones about what you want to happen if you become very sick and cannot make decisions for yourself.

A more thorough explanation:

Involuntary euthanasia is the act of ending someone's life without their consent, even if they are suffering from an incurable disease or condition. This is done for reasons of mercy, but it is often considered illegal and can be classified as second-degree murder, manslaughter, or criminally negligent homicide.

For example, if a doctor decides to end the life of a patient without their consent, it is considered involuntary euthanasia. Another example is if a family member decides to end the life of a loved one who is suffering without their consent.

These examples illustrate the definition of involuntary euthanasia because they involve ending someone's life without their consent, even if it is done for reasons of mercy.
