Answer:
This is how my brother explained it to me.
"Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water." Duh. Obviously, they went for a pail of water.
"Jack fell down, broke his crown." Jill killed Jack. Like, broke his head forcefully.
"And Jill came tumbling after." She was then killed on trial for killing Jack,
Additional answer:
However the rhymme continues:
"To old Dame Trot, who bandaged his knot.
With vinegar and brown paper."
Following on the logic, Dame Trot buried Jack. (Knot means head).
However why would you go up a hill to get water? More likely it was a couple who got into trouble-the crown was the representation.
Yet another answer:"Crown" is "head", but Jack's fall is what broke Jack's head. Jill is innocent! And she probably tripped over whatever he tripped on, which is why she came tumbling after. "Knot" is not Jack's head, but a lump. (We still say that today.) So Dame Trot fixed Jack's head, probably using the vinegar to clean the wound (ouch!) and the brown paper to tie it up, just as one wraps fish & chips in newspaper.
