Hitman: Blood Money

How do accidents work?

What exactly is an accident. I know that falling down stairs and off of balconies are, but is poisen, or strangulations accidents, and one time I saw a guard revive a target that I had pushed down the stairs.

Thanks

Drowning in a body of water
Pushing someone off a ledge
Having something fall on them
Scripted accidents (like the exploding gas tank, or lifting weights 'accidents' in the flatline mission)

Also note that, I'm pretty sure it's not an accident if someone sees you, and lives to tell about it.(obviously)

As for stairs, they don't always KILL. Sometimes you have to soften up the target by shooting them or pushing them into a wall

In addition to JC_Phoenix' answer, you can kill people all day long and still have it count as an accident as long as you take care of the body properly. If you throw the body over railings or into water, or do some other accident where the body gets mangled, it should still be an accident.
