I can't find the link but this isn't the first time that someone has wrongly called the police on a household where one of the innocent occupants was killed. The person making the call was charged with manslaughter I believe, so that person is being held liable.
That is because there is intention behind the action, that has caused the death of another.
It is the same as shouting fire in a crowded movie theater, which again is for the intent to cause potential harm.
So the person making the call in this case when they are identified will 100% be charged with a rather serious crime.
There are probably other charges that the person can be brought up, but most likely there will be something manslaughter related.
