Manslaughter - he was arrested for manslaughter, not murder.
The distinction is very significant - manslaughter means he was negligent in encouraging people to smoke toad venom and his negligence led to a death. Murder would have meant that he was actively trying to kill or harm someone, either by having them smoke toad venom, or by assaulting them (presumably under the influence of toad venom).

The BBC article left out the only information I was looking for. What did the guy die from?
edit: So I went looking for the answer to this and found ~10 articles all saying that he died after smoking toad toxin, but none gave a direct cause of death. This was 11 months ago; the autopsy is long since finished. What’s with all the sideways implications of overdose?
a Rolling Stone article did add this bit though:
In 2012, [Vidal] was arrested and charged with tax evasion and flight of capital in connection with an alleged money laundering ring orchestrated by the Chinese mob, though he maintained his innocence and was released on bail.
So if penis candles, porn, and psychedelic toad toxin aren’t enough you can mix in laundering money for the Chinese mob.

Sometimes a weird headline like this can put you in a zen state better than the standard “one hand clapping” koan. After I read it I found myself just staring off into space.

I love it so much.
The headlines today are just fantastic.
