If you manage to chuck me off a building and you somehow die then I think that makes you either incredibly unlucky or incredibly stupid.
Now if I chucked you off a building and you die, the charge would depend on whatever happened in the moments previously. For example, if I chucked you off in a fit of rage or lured you up to the rooftop with the intention of throwing you off, that would be murder. If we were messing about and you fell because of my foolishness, that would be manslaughter with probable verdict being death by misadventure.
As said previously, it all comes down to intent, and the ability to prove that intent.
