A speculation regarding the final fight with Big Ben:

Considering the following:

- Mrs Hooper (Roger's aunt), in ghost form, tells Roger on that first night:  "It tricked me.  I didn't think it could, but it tricked me." - Big Ben makes the threat that Roger had to kill himself or else he would kill his son. - Ben slashes his knife at Roger, seemingly chopping off his hand at the wrist, but when Roger examines it, his hand is still intact.

This leads me to think that Ben couldn't kill Roger; he probably never could.
