  Comments:
I found this unexpectedly hard to gloss. "violent death" also includes suicide and accidental deaths. "homicidal death" doesn't include manslaughter. "manslaughter" doesn't include homicides. "violent killing"/"deadly assault" is close but this refers specifically to the death rather than the assault i.e. the subject is the person who died. "15歳暴行死" refers to a 15 y-o who was killed, not who killed somebody.
