See 1939's "Of Mice & Men" instead

Once you've seen it, you've got it. I think this one is going to diminish in memory as time goes on. "Titanic", anyone? Still, I could forgive a lot of it if only Clint had been at least questioned by the police. Even people who die of natural causes have to be "pronounced" by the Medical Examiner. Here, Clint leaves Hilary's with her breathing tube removed from her trachea, which would make her death "suspicious", which means there would be some sort of coroner's inquest and autopsy which would show the high count of adrenaline in her system, thereby ruling her death as a "probable homicide". After the nurses and night staff were questioned, it wouldn't be long until they were onto Clint; most likely uncovering means, motive and opportunity (Morgan Freeman would be a poor alibi indeed). Hence, the movie cannot end with him sitting peacefully in a diner somewhere until he is thoroughly grilled and most likely arrested by the LAPD.
