I'm sure there are mindless, homeless drunks passing out all the time up there. It's fucked, but I'll admit I would have walked on by without a second thought. Maybe if I could see blood or an obvious sign telling me this guy is in trouble, I might do something. Call 911, but that's as far as I'm going. The phrase "good Samaritan" is being used out of context, too. I think a lot of people are seeing that phrase in the headline and thinking "how could such a great human die like this?" when the people walking by didn't even know the back story. We do, so we judge them from afar. Everyone's saying that they'd stop and help, but if it was you walking by in that moment, would you really?
