In reality I doubt you caused someone's death, but I do understand the level of guilt you must have felt! :'(
This reminds me of something that happened a few years back. I'd just come out of the cinema with my friends, so I switched my mobile-phone on. However, I managed to do this in such a way that it immediately dialled 999 (I don't know how!). Being quite young and innocent at the time, I was horrified and hung up. Then I worried that I should have stayed on the line and told them that I'd called by accident, rather than hanging up. My friends reassured me that everything would be fine as we wandered around the town centre. Then, my phone rang, displaying a local number I didn't recognise. I answered.

"Did we receive an emergency call from you?" asked a strict-sounding woman.

"Yes, I'm so sorry, my 'phone dialled 999 by accident!" I half-wailed back.

"Well you've wasted our time. It's an offence to make false 999 calls."

"I'm sorry!" I said desperately.

Laughter. It was my friend Jenny calling from a telephone box round the corner. She hadn't even bothered to put on a different voice; I'm just an idiot.
