He should have opened a soup kitchen if he wanted to help. He can't appoint himself sheriff (and it's a bad idea anyway considering how police were basically created to keep the poors in their place, which would make homeless people naturally distrustful of them), and more importantly the idea that they have to "gain approval" to be worth helping is a red flag. I'm not saying it's okay that he died. But he put himself in harms way and I cannot say I'm surprised.
