Killing passers-by by by jumping off a building may first involve the crime of causing death through negligence, and those who cause death through negligence shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years. Secondly, it may also involve intentional injury or even intentional homicide. Falling from a building in a densely populated community does not rule out bad ideas and intentions that may implicate others. Article 234 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever intentionally harms another person's body shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Whoever commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph and causes serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; Whoever causes death or serious disability by particularly cruel means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death. The crime of intentional homicide is punishable by death. However, if the person falls from the building accidentally, he does not need to bear criminal responsibility.
Lawyer Feng Yueping of Beijing Shi Jing Law Firm pointed out that the criminal law stipulates that if a criminal suspect or defendant dies, he shall not be investigated for criminal responsibility. If the investigation has been completed, the case shall be dismissed, or no prosecution shall be instituted, or the trial shall be terminated or acquitted. If the person who fell from the building has also died, he cannot be investigated for criminal responsibility. Then, for the innocent passers-by, the disaster fell from the sky, and the families of the victims can only admit that they are unlucky and have nowhere to recover? The answer is no, even if the person who fell from the building has died, the damage caused to the victim still needs to be compensated for personal injury within the scope of his own estate and bear tort liability. If the infringer dies, civil compensation will be made to the victim with the infringer's legacy. If the successor inherits the infringer's estate, the compensation shall be limited to the inherited estate. Article 33 of the Inheritance Law stipulates that the inheritance of an estate shall pay off the taxes and debts that the decedent should pay according to law, and the payment of taxes and debts shall be limited to the actual value of the estate. The part exceeding the actual value of the estate shall be voluntarily repaid by the heir. If the heir renounces inheritance, he may not bear the taxes and debts that the decedent should pay according to law. Therefore, the victim's compensation should mainly come from the personal heritage of the person who fell from the building, and the family members of the person who fell from the building have no necessary compensation responsibility, depending on whether the victim will be compensated accordingly from a humanitarian perspective.
In addition, the courier died during the work, and the labor relationship with the courier company should be counted as work death. Article 39 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance requires that if an employee dies at work, his close relatives shall receive funeral subsidies, pension for dependent relatives and one-time work-related death subsidies from the work-related injury insurance fund in accordance with regulations.
Recently, incidents like falling from a building and killing passers-by have occurred frequently. For example, in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, after a man hacked to death another man because of a personal dispute, he fell from a building in the early morning and killed a passing woman. Both of them died, which also implicated innocent lives and made people sad. For whatever reason, the act of jumping off a building to commit suicide in a community is first of all a contempt for one's own life and also a contempt for him.
