You have 0 context Stop assuming the absolute worst. It’s always hard for both parties involved

I can’t help but notice how calm the 17 year old is while they are covering that man up and he is dead. Either he doesn’t understand the severity of the situation, is in shock or doesn’t care. I would be literally hysterical knowing I just killed someone.
