Question re: The Hajj

363 people died during the stampede to complete the stoning ritual of the Hajj. By throwing stones at the three pillars, which represent the Devil, the pilgrim is cleansed of sin. Does this include being cleansed of the sin of trampling to death a fellow pilgrim just moments before?

And I ask this question with the deepest respect.
