MaxineSimon dies in Chapter 9 of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. His death occurs in the midst of a frenzied dance and chant by the boys, mistaking him for the beast. The scene is described in detail on pages 152-154 in the 1999 Penguin Books edition. Simon's death marks a turning point in the novel, highlighting the descent of the boys into savagery.
Jack stole Piggy's glasses at the end of pg 186 when Ralph, Piggy and some younguns were sleeping in the huts. Jack decided that it was in his best interest, as being chief of the savages, that the only way that their tribe would be able to survive was if they had his glasses, but funny enough not the conch? HUH
Jack and the hunters spike a pig's head on a stick as a gift to 'the beast.'

In Lord of the Flies Simon is killed by Jack and his group on pages 152-154 (chapter 9) aaccttuualllyy, thats when simon is making his way down the mountain after his adventure, but he is actually killed on page 168 when jack and his tribe mistake him for the beast during a thunderstorm.
Who dies in lord of the flies-?
Simon was beaten to death when he was mistaken for the 'beast.' Piggy was killed when he was knocked from the causeway by a boulder and the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face disappeared after the first fire got out of control, presumably killed by the fire or by smoke. Ralph also stabbed at least two of Jack's hunters with his spear so they may also have been killed or badly injured.
Who was the first boy to die in Lord of the Flies?
The first boy to die in Lord of the Flies is known only as "the boy with the mulberry birth mark". He is the one who complains about a "beastie" and after the fire he is never seen again. Simon is killed next during the "dance", and finally Piggy. Though at the end of the book Ralph says only two have died, there were actually three casualties.
Does jack die in Lord of the Flies?
No. Ralph nearly dies, Piggy dies and Simon dies. It is implied that Ralph murders two boys in his struggle of self defense. Is it also suggested that the boy with the mulberry birthmark dies in the fire early on in the book.
