'Wall death' runner won't face charges

Police have decided not to file criminal charges against a Canadian woman who ran into a Chinese woman, who then fell and died, on the Great Wall at Mutianyu on Wednesday.

The Canadian told police she was running, missed her step and accidentally knocked down Cui Hongfang, 70, who was visiting the Great Wall from Heilongjiang province with her family, The Beijing News reported.

More than one witness confirmed the Canadian could be seen leaning over, but no one was able to ascertain whether she had missed her footing.
