No it wouldn't, you have to prove intention to kill for a murder charge. This is manslaughter, a lesser but still very serious charge. Killing someone on accident is still a crime, shocker, I know.
Unless you do it with a car. Then you have a 90% chance of getting off Scott free.
So a car is a good way to go then for all of your manslaughtering needs
