“These cases establish the rule that where one inflicts an injury on another, he is guilty of homicide if the injury contributes mediately or immediately to the death of such other, and the fact that other causes contribute to the death does not relieve the actor of responsibility: State v. Butler, 534 S.W.2d 832, 835-836 (Mo.App.1976); State v. Williams, 588 S.W.2d 70, 74-75 (Mo.App.1979); State v. Daugherty, 631 S.W.2d 637, 640 (Mo.1982); and State v. Bolder, 635 S.W.2d 673, 680 (Mo. banc 1982).”
