Today I ran across three dead agents in Stratford Campus, and, not visiting this place too often, I wonder: is it just a part of the local decoration or is it something really unusual?

It's most likely the Datamining bug. Sometimes when datamining an Agent spawns on you but instead of attacking he keels over instead, not heard it happening in datamine but a while back dead agents littered downtown. They disappear upon server reset. To be honest I thought the bug had been fixed, must have just been the drop off in datamining...

Yeah...what Vinia said. You'll probably see dead agents lying on the floor all over the place, when I first saw it I was pretty shocked too, but then you realise why it happens.

Someone taps, an agent appears and keels over on the floor, and stays there till server reset.

Not so sure it's a bug, it happens because you have that area's access node tagged already, the agent that spawns when datamining is the exact same agent that spawns on people without access nodes, so if you have that place tagged already they die.  Notice in datamine they don't do this? Because there is no access node for Datamine.

Hmmm... well, while the two should be disconnected (well they should imo), it's extremely plausible. In which case steps should be taken on either preventing that particular spawn from taking place if you have the node tapped, or in the very least making the body disappear in the same way as NPC's bodies disappear looted or not.

I killed them because they annoy me.
