That's a hard choice.. The first one makes the viewer think, "Whoa! I think it would be freaky to switch on a flashlight somewhere and see that first!"
The lighting in the second one makes the tragedy seem much more recent, therefore making it seem like whatever slaughtered the man is probably still nearby. Sam is now full above the tip of his on-end hair with fear, imagining that the creature, or ethereal being, will do the same to him very soon.
That's how I see it at least..
I'd say the second one. You can see the "forgive me more clearly now, and the horribly mutilated corpse adds to the atmosphere.
Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.
