Some guys in CA were staging car wrecks for insurance fraud purposes and someone died. A judge said they could go for murder charges in that one:
Prosecutors re-filed the murder charge against Miller, and after the judge ruled they could use the crime of conspiracy to stage accidents for the purpose of insurance fraud to pursue a felony murder conviction, Miller pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter.
In cases of arson if someone dies there can be murder charges. I don't really see how this would be any different.
