What could the angry mob/physicians done differently?

The angry mob should have investigated first if the body, which the medical student had was the widower's wife. Also, they may have done if pacifically and peacefully, where nobody will have been hurt. The angry mob could have not damages hospitals' properties because they are useful for other people. And, they can have talked with the hospital to make conclusions about the problem. John Hick should not have run away because this make people think that he is guilty. He could have talked with the angry mob to explain that he was just joking and that he did not know the child's mom was death. However, he should not be playing with the body of a death body. If he is supposed to study about the body, he should just do what was his role.
