He didn't lie. He changed his mind. LW skips the part where he explains what led to Aaron no longer talking to him -- is this just a drifting apart thing, or did he blow up in his face and make these accusations?
Also, telling the best friend about his brother's death could be just simply that the best friend asked, said the right thing that unlocked something Aaron was having difficulty with saying, etc. It's not a slight upon the friendship, necessarily. I end up telling more casual friends stuff I haven't told my closest friends yet because I wear my heart on my sleeve: it's easy to tell when I'm holding something back, and people often ask -- and thus receive the information they asked for. LW isn't clear about the timescale between the death and the telling, at all.
