What is up with the death penalty?

[Quadrophenia]

Maybe it shouldn't be happening but it is. That's my point.

No, not a loop, I saw the deaths. just a standard couple of deaths over the course of a couple hours play on 2 separate days. One was level 26 or so and the other and the other 21. Different zones where they occurred.

Neither are mentally handicapped although the death penalty shouldn't be greater for them even if they were. I'm not quite sure where that particular question came from.
