This is the most extensive sense of this word ,
in which the intention is not considered .
But in a more limited sense ,
it is always understood that the killing is by human agency ,
and Hawkins defines it to be the killing of a man by a man .

Homicide may perhaps be described to be the destruction of the life of one human being ,
either by himself ,
or by the act ,
procurement ,
or culpable omission of another .
When the death has been intentionally caused by the deceased himself ,
the offender is called felo de se ;
when it is caused by another ,
it is justifiable ,
excusable ,
or felonious .
2 .
The person killed must have been born ;
the killing before birth is balled foeticide . (
q .
v .)
3 .
The destruction of human life at any period after birth ,
is homicide ,
however near it may be to extinction ,
from any other cause .

Justifiable homicide is such as arises ,
1st .
From unavoidable necessity ,
without any will ,
intention or desire ,
and without any inadvertence in the party killing ,
and therefore without blame ;
as ,
for instance ,
the execution ,
according to law ,
of a criminal who has been lawfully sentenced to be hanged ;
or ,
2d .
It is committed for the advancement of public justice ;
as if an officer ,
in the lawful execution of his office ,
either in a civil or criminal case ,
should kill a person who assaults and resists him .
