You kid, but moral philosophy is full of examples like that.

If I leave a rake on the ground and it rusts over 5 years and then someone contracts tetanus is it my fault? If it is my fault is it just counter-factually? If it’s my fault because counterfactually I could have put the rake away and prevented the death, am I blameworthy? If I’m not blameworthy do I have any obligation to right the wrong?

It depends, did you purposely leave the rake out knowing full well that it could result in someone's death down the road?
