Defence counsel- "my client meant to hit the brake but pressed the accelerator by mistake." Slap on the wrist, case dismissed.

Arrest, post mortem. The investigation should delve deep with the intrepid police investigators covering all aspects. Why was the bird there? Was he jay walking? Was he bullied by others to the point where suicide was the only option? Was he playing a game of "chicken?" Maybe he was a product of the sophisticated North Korean spy network, or simply was colour blind and didn't see the lights change colour.
The mysteries of the pyramids pale into insignificance compared to this incident.
This monumental event should be the subject of a parliamentary enquiry.

Does that mean that the employee(s) that issue the thousands of tourist visas to NK in those countries are now redundant?

Unless an independent investigation is instigated, (which is unlikely), each will blame the other.
