Dean was walking home after drinking several pints of beer in a bar. He saw Ezra. Ezra had recently borrowed £100 from him but had not paid him back. Dean ran towards Ezra shouting that he would ‘hurt him’ if he did not return the money now. Ezra immediately panicked. As he hastily turned to get away, he tripped, hit his head on the pavement and lost consciousness. Dean saw that Ezra’s gold bracelet had fallen to the ground. He decided to take the bracelet and keep it because Ezra owed him the £100. Dean then telephoned for an ambulance. When Ezra arrived at hospital, he was given medication to stabilise his condition but he suffered a rare allergic reaction and died. Consider the criminal liability of Dean for the death of Ezra and for his actions with regard to the bracelet.
