Hi, actually you're both right. Matthew's claims that Simon was already 'half-dead' due to him carrying Matthew after he falls, but ultimately Simon died from falling off the cliff after been being chased by Matthew, he fell at such an angle that his necked snapped instantly. Both of these reasons are why Matthew feels he is to blame, as he believes both were his fault. However, considering Matthew was only a child and did not know that there would be such dire consequence from a) requesting comfort from his brother after scraping his knee b) attempting to scare his brother, he cannot be considered guilty.
