These meanings of manslaughter may help you if in doubt:
- Unlawful killing without intent to kill. It can be voluntary (such as a deadly fist fight) or involuntary (such as an accident caused by a speeding car).

I would like to add that this term may be one of great disputes among the experts and I would prefer to leave this to an Attorney as the meaning may vary. I withdraw this answer, but leave the references in the event that they are helpful.

However, to the best of my knowledge and belief, there are differences between the three terms posted so far "wrongful death, manslaughter and negligent homicide and may differ in the USA vs. Argentina.
