2. “"The legislature has distinguished between child neglect which results in serious bodily injury ® and neglect which results in the child's death." "3. The legislature may not have intended the child neglect statute to encompass neglect which results in the death of the dependent child, expecting such cases to be charged under one of the homicide provisions. The neglect statute specifically provides that '... the offense is a class B felony if it results in serious bodily injury.. Ind. Code § 35-46-1-4 (a)(4) (Burns 1985 Repl.). The present definition of serious bodily injury is specific. Ind. Code § 35-41-1-25 (Burns 1985 Repl). This statutory definition includes bodily injury which creates a substantial risk of death but omits injury which results in death, the latter being expressly in cluded in the former definitional seetion. Ind. Code § 85-41-1-2 (Burns 1979 Repl.)."”
