			I think the direction it is facing as it dies is just random.  I don't think I have ever noticed any real tendancy to "go back" as opposed to "continue on" either.  Just too many variables.
 A running deer with a fatal shot falls because it lost consciousness.  I"ve seen them run head on into a tree at full speed because they are not even able to see any more as their brain shuts down due to lack of blood supply.  I don't think any decisions are being made at that point.
