Eggshell Skull doctrine maybe. You can punch someone without intending to murder them but if they die, you're responsible anyway.
In this case there’s a clear case of premeditation and targeting of an individual, which is genuinely different from the depraved heart statute. At the same time however, it’s going to be hard to prove intent without relying on something like the statute in question. This really does feel more like murder one, albeit with a very unreliable weapon.
