Piggy dies in Chapter 11 of Lord of the Flies. In this chapter, Ralph calls an assembly at Piggys urging, and they decide that the four remaining biguns will ask Jacks tribe for Piggys glasses back, reminding them of the signal fires importance. However, Jack orders his tribe to capture Sam and Eric and tie them up, prompting a fight between himself and Ralph. During the brawl, Piggy tries to speak, hoping to remind the group of the importance of rules and rescue, but Roger shoves a massive rock down the mountainside. The boulder strikes Piggy, shatters the conch shell he is holding, and knocks him off the mountainside to his death on the rocks below.
