He ran because he wisely knew the idiocy of judging actions he took during a blight when 10 years have passed. It wasn't going to go well for him and he knew it.
he ran because he is a coward
and that is why he murdered half his town during the blight
If I kill one person to save your families I wonder how many of you would sentence me to death for my horrific crime.
I think killing the blighted one's are far more merciful choice then letting them live on their own mercy. It has been shown in past games.
You know what happens to Ruck in deep roads, you kill Aveline husband in DA2 at very start of the game, even you have to end your own sibling life if you take them in deep roads with you without Anders in DA2 as an act of mercy.
So It has been repeatedly shown in Dragon Age universe that only cure for blight is to either become a Grey Warden or a quick death then let them slowly die with pain or completely lose their mind and become threat to others.
Even grey wardens goto deep roads to find their heroic death after they start hearing the calling (effect of the taint) rather then dragging.
What mayor did WAS the right choice, its not the matter of best nope, it was his ONLY choice.
I gave him to the Queen. He killed Fereldens in Ferelden territory so I figured it wasn't my jurisdiction.
Even if that drowning the town thing is excusable... what about all the lying?
I consider that as the heavier crime.
To give example to populace that "lying is not goof, mkay?" ... execution thus.
I sentenced him to death, law is law, motives don't really matter etc.
Also i was curious about the execution scene, admittedly. Maybe i'll judge him differently next time.
Grey Wardens for me but ...
am I the only one that thought the mayor looked a little bit like Anders? I am pretty sure they are related ^^

Off with his head.
Didn't really care about the excuses, justifications... I just wanted to be an arsehole.
You have only his word that there was blight. That isn't near enough for me.
Read the codex.
I choose all 3 once.
I think exile is the worst option. Ok, yes Blight is awful, but..... that's almost walking off scott free.....if he keeps his nose out of trouble, he'll just be another regular guy.....
So I think prison is far worse. He wants to die, but even with exeuction... hmmmm
Being locked up in Fereldan jail, that seems the worse fate IMO
I'm proud to say, I haven't sat in on one judgement. Let the maker be the judge. I'd rather go slay dragons.
Where is the Inquisition technically located? Fereldan? Not entirely on Orlais....but rather you boarder between the two countries? Are we like.... our own micro nation?

Yes
I think I had him executed although I can't remember.

Sort of on the fringes of both. Haven was on teh Ferelden side of the Frostbacks, and Skyhold on teh Orlais side. But rither way you're way out in the boonies and with enough of a force that neither country wants to bother with ya. Especially given the troubles they're facing.
I sent the entire inquisition to search for him but he seems to have eluded all my agents and simply vanished. Oh well... maybe he fell of his horse and died. Have bigger problems to worry about. 
The mayor made the correct choice, not once but twice.
First he realized that there was nothing to be done that could help or save the infected refugees. Helping them would only spread the blight further. But he knew he couldn't convince the nice people of his village, if he had forbidden contact someone might have disobeyed and helped anyway. Death was the only solution. The mayor couldn't just go down there and stab them all though. So creating a flood to drown everyone quickly was actually a good idea.
Secondly he didn't tell anyone what he did. Partly that was saving himself of course but they did need his leadership after all. There's also the fact that he didn't want the murder of a group of people last on the consience of his village. He took full responsibility.
He didn't have any better options, he chose the least evil. Considering that Crestwood still existed 10 years later and was doing fine (except for the bandits and rift activity, which were both outside his influence) is a sign that he was a good leader.
I exiled him but if there had been the option of forgiving him and sending him back to Crestwood as mayor, I would have done so.
I sentenced him to become a grey warden. That he would find his redemption through the blight. But my quizzy agreed with him. His course of action was sound and it was better to let some people die than a whole town trying to save people who had no hope. The merciful thing was to kill them. However, being the leader of a mega power I decided I had to at least take a harder line than letting him off the hook entirely.
I don't remember this being an option. Dang, I exiled him but would have definitely chosen this
I'm still torn about this one. It was a horrible situation, and like someone already pointed out, he really was in way over his head with it. What he did was sickening ... even though letting them die from the Blight would have been worse. Dorian comments on claw marks on the cave walls, and Cole does his "channeling their pain" thing, and together that paints a pretty gruesome picture of how these people struggled before they died. They shouldn't have had to suffer this way. Still, I can see why the mayor felt he had no other choice. A quarantine is the only thing I can really think of, but reinforcing that is a lot easier said than done, and the victims would still be doomed.
There's really no solution I'm satisfied with ... and I consider that a good thing, actually. Give him to the Wardens? I'd say his odds of surviving the Joining are slim, plus he doesn't look like a warrior, so what use would he be to them? Give him to Ferelden? That respects the local authorities, but feels like washing my hands off a hard choice. Execute him? I hate killing in cold blood, especially as a public spectacle. If he really wants to die, then he can do it himself. Maybe I'll settle on exile.

This is actuslly why I hand him over to Ferelden.
The people killed were Ferelden citizens, as is the mayor. The Inquisitor is not a Ferelden official or even from that nation. Let Alistair/Anora judge him. It's their problem. Mine's the rift in the lake.
It's easy to judge someone else. I wish that Bioware would let some of these decisions like the Mayor of Crestwoord had to make fall on us as the player. Much more interesting, imo.
I wanted to let Sera kill him. But settled for having him executed.
