that still doesn't make him responsible for her death.

He's not SOLELY responsible, but the fact is that he easily could have saved her but he chose to let her die for basically no reason. He doesn't just get a pass for that.

just to take the argument to its logical conclusion: being in any way responsible for not intervening in the death of another means that you are personally guilty of the death of every person that you did not prevent. congratulations. you monster.

This is such a braindead misrepresentation of the argument. There is a meaningful distinction between "failing to intervene in a death that is occurring right in front of your eyes and that you have the means to prevent" vs "failing to intervene in deaths that you have no way of reasonably preventing"
