IIRC Colin was actually the one killed off. Dickon got terrible facial injuries in World War I and also PTSD, which have combined to sour his character so that now when he finds angry crying children he snaps at them.
Now I realize that in real life disfiguring facial injuries + PTSD can do weird things to people, but this is The Secret Garden and DICKON WOULD NEVER.
