Yes Piggy does die in the Lord of the Flies. He dies in a very tragic way. After everyone abandoned Ralph and Piggy they joined Jack's tribe. On a visit to Jack's tribe, Piggy is trying to get everyone's attention and he is yelling that he has the conch and he is the only one who should be talking. Roger, who is truly evil, pushes a boulder over the top of Castle Rock and it falls and crushes Piggy and the conch in his hand shatters into a million pieces. After Piggy's death, madness breaks out on the island and the hunt for Ralph is on. :)
Piggy dies near the end of the book.
He is struck by a boulder that was released by Roger.
there is nobody missing, but slowly towards the end of the book, piggy is soon to be missing. why did piggy die? --> because he is the sign of adulthood, civilization and reason. all the other boys are beyond reason, so piggy must die.

In Lord of the Flies, Piggy and Simon are tragically killed. Simon is stabbed to death by the boys and Piggy is sadly hit by a massive rock:(
Piggy dies in Chapter 11 (Castle Rock), he dies by Roger throwing a giant boulder down the hill where it hits Piggy between his knee and his chin and knocks him unconscious and over the side of the mountain into the sea.
In chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies," Roger rolls a boulder towards Henry while he is playing on the beach, narrowly missing him. This act of cruelty foreshadows Roger's more violent tendencies as the story progresses.
no, the lord of the flies is in jack; in fact it is in all of the boys. This is because the lord of the flies is an allegorical representation of the devil, and uncivilized nature within all human beings. Thus, the lord of the flies; (or balzeebub, a form of the devil in Arabic) exists within all human beings. This is what william golding was trying to get across to the reader
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.
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.
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.
Piggy is not useless, Piggy is a needed character to contribute to the story, if it was not for Piggy there would be no fire, they probably would not of built a shelter so early, more people would die from accidents such as in the beginning of the story. In addition, Piggy is also Ralphs right hand man that kept Ralph in check and stopped Ralph from getting killed multiple times.
