People have been killed by cyclists. A few years ago in Philly a man was struck and knocked down while crossing the street legally. Hit his head, slipped into a coma and later died. The cyclist got up, straightened his bars and rode off. He has never been identified despite a large reward being offered by the victim's employer. Then there was the case a few years ago in CA where a guy trying to set some sort of record on Strava blew a light, hit a senior citizen and killed her. He later posted on line about what he had done and his commitment to setting the record. In 2014 a jogger in Central Park was hit and killed by a cyclist. No laws were broken there, but it's another example of how bikes can injure/kill pedestrians.
BTW...IBTM to A&S, where there is already a thread about this.
