If your friend smacked him & you both ran off as he fell then you could not possibly know how bad it turned out
You both really need to hand your self in and tell your side of the story before they come and get you
nothing will happen to you if you come clean now otherwise you are aiding your friend to avoid justice
He will almost certainly face manslaughter charges but that's only 5 years less good behaviour and so on
so he would be out in 3 i'll bet
Anyway do yourself a favour and come clean now
Good luck
 
if your friend punches a person and the person dies from the punch. what will happen to you, will you go down for being there. what will the police do, will they keep you in custody or let you go on bail. what will happen to you if you ran with your friend who punched the person. even though you never knew at the time he was dead. what will happen for running away
 
you could be an accessory to the fact, you knew about your friend punching the person and did not report it to police.
if you have priors you can get into trouble it all depends on what officer or judge you have. You will usually be let go on bail unless you are a flight risk.
Police might offer you a deal that if you testify you don't get charged as i said it is completely up to the officer/judge. i'd suggest you go to a police station and report it and explain the situation it'll make everything a fair bit easier for you.
