Simon's fate is based on the alleged Viking ritualised execution method called blood eagle, in which victims were placed in a prone position, their ribs severed from the spine with a sharp tool, and their lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of "wings". The victim would supposedly be alive and conscious through the process and not die until sometime after (likely from blood loss). As such, when Christian finds him, Simon is still breathing, though barely, if at all, conscious. As he was a part of the sacrifice, he does die sometime between Christian finding him and the final ritual: it can even be argued he died while Christian was there since he only breathes once or twice during the scene. Simon being alive and breathing when Christian finds him, however, is highly improbable due to the fact that the lungs require the diaphragm to expand the lungs to inhale air. Although, one explanation to this image is Christian may be experiencing a residual hallucination from the aphrodisiac he was given earlier by the elder, intensified by the horrific state of Simon's condition.
