A defendant stabbed a victim, creating a life-threatening wound. At the hospital, a doctor negligently delayed surgery, and the victim died. Medical experts say the stab wound started the fatal process, but prompt surgery likely would have saved the victim.
Which statement best describes causation?

Choose the Best Answer

Ordinary negligent medical treatment normally does not break the causal chain when the defendant inflicted a life-threatening wound. Any medical mistake automatically breaks causation. A doctor always becomes the sole legal cause of death when treatment begins. Causation is irrelevant in homicide once the defendant commits an assault.
