How did simon die in "The Orphanage"?

Question

Okay, so i found this new movie....i LOVE it. It's amazing(: Anyway, It's all in spanish, and you have to read subtitles through the whole thing. Which i don't mind.....but it makes it a little hard to understand.

In the end, you see flashbacks that Laura is having.....things that start to make the rest of the film make a little more sense. One of these, is supposed to help the viewer understand how Simon died. Bahh. I'm not sure I understand though.

I think Laura accidentally locked him in Tomas' "little house" ......i know that at least 6 months passed. And, Simon was HIV positive.

So, did his disease kill him from not having treatments all that time. Did he die from being locked in the closet?

Also, Laura hears a loud sound on one of the many nights without Simon. She is scared but assumes it is the Little Children and still cannot find Simon. At the end of the movie, in the "flashbacks" they show Simon lying on the floor. Was the sound him falling from the stairs to his death?

Bahh:( Will someone please tell me that they've seen this movie and how Simon really died? THANK YOU (:

p.s. if you haven't seen it....you MUST!

it's really an awesome movie.

Answer 1

I love that movie! From what I got, I think he dies either from like falling off the stairs? Because you see the stairs cracking, but then she walks down the stairs and they're fine when she's in her little "trance" thing. Hmmmm, or it could be from starvation. :S But I think he died pretty quickly, or I'm sure she would have heard him at some point.

Answer 2

i dont know but when you find out let me know

Answer 3

I just assumed that he died of stravation and not being able to take his medications.  

Answer 4

I just watched it for the 4th time. I LOVE IT!!

I think Simon died from falling. the banging laura hears in the night is him trying to get out then the big bang is obviously when he falls and the staircase caves in. Also when laura goes down into "tomas' den" she see's the stairs are broken and simon's body is laying there.

Hope this helps!

What i wana know is.... Why is Bengina interested in Simon so much? how does she have his record?
