Civil Rights Issues: Double Jeopardy Question- Different Charges from Same Offense

My question involves civil rights in the US, specifically double jeopardy.


If someone is eventually acquitted of assault, but the victim dies of his injuries soon afterward, can that person be charged with manslaughter? These are obviously different charges, but they result from the same offense, so how does this relate to double jeopardy? If the defendant is acquitted of assault, and the assault is what caused the victim's death, is he protected from murder charges?

Thanks for you're help!
