That's only part of the definition. If someone jumps in front of my car while I'm driving and dies, I am not guilty of manslaughter. Or if I'm firing down a firing range and someone runs out onto the range, I'm not responsible. That seems to be the likely case here. The victim did something stupid, he approached a hunting party without announcing himself. It's terribly distressing for all involved, but nothing illegal was done.
