What actions? The operator tells Zimmerman to stop his pursuit. He then says "okay". Zimmerman tells the operator that Martin is running. You can clearly hear on the 911 call that Zimmerman was not running.
According to Zimmerman, he then went back to his car, at which point he was attacked.
There is zero evidence that Zimmerman engaged anyone. There is zero evidence that Zimmerman did anything but head back to his car as instructed. That's the issue here, evidence. There is no evidence between the time the 911 call ends and witnesses see Martin on top of Zimmerman.
As for your quetions about whether the death occurs regardless of someone's actions, that's ridiculous. They don't occur if Martin doesn't get skittles. They don't occur if Martin's mother doesn't give birth to him. It's not a case of a leading to b. It's a case of who broke the law, and the prosecution has to prove beyond a resonable doubt it was Martin.
