““In the case of State v. Satterfield, 198 N.C. 682, 684 , 153 S.E. 155 (1930), Adams, J. said: 'This offense (involuntary manslaughter) consists in the unintentional killing of one person by another without malice (1) by doing some unlawful act. not amounting to a felony or naturally dangerous to human life; or (2) by negligently doing some act which in itself is lawful; or (3) by negligently failing or omitting to perform a duty imposed by law. These elements are embraced in the offense as defined at common law. Wharton, Homicide, 7; 1 Crim. Law (11 Ed.) 622; 1 McClain on Crim. Law, 303, sec. 335; Clark’s Crim. Law 204. The definition includes unintentional homicide resulting from the performance of an unlawful act, from the performance of a lawful act done in a culpably negligent way, and from the negligent omission to perform a legal duty.’ (emphasis added.)” State v. Hamilton and State v. Beasley, 1 N.C. App. 99 , 160 S.E. 2d 79 (1968).”
