Piggy, Samneric, and Ralph lie about Simon's death because they are afraid of taking responsibility for their part in the violent mob that killed him. They are overwhelmed by guilt and fear of being held accountable for their actions. Denying the truth allows them to distance themselves from the horrific event.
