Simon's death was an accident and the people responsible were all of the boys including Ralph and Piggy. The reason they killed him was because of Jack and the others thinking that he was the Beastie and chanting: "Kill the Beast! Cut his throat! Spill his Blood! Do him in!" As they chant that, Simon comes stumbling out of the forest trying to explain, but doesn't have enough time to say anything but," Dead man on the mountain!"
