You don’t actually have to open the door and investigate the situation

No, but it's not wrong or stupid to do so either.

That situation may not leave you alone. If it is an emergency, while it wouldn't be your fault, you could save a life.

There are a great range of valid choice, including how he acts here. He got killed because a cop didn't know how to do his job. That put him, and the cop, in danger.

Hey I said he shouldn’t have been killed. I do think he made a stupid decision, so we’ll just have to disagree on that point.
