Cinder is very powerful, as evidenced by her being able to go toe-to-toe with Goodwitch, so it is possible that she was responsible for Summer's death.

I like Samuelshadow16's idea better though, that Ozpin (and Beacon) is somehow responsible for Summer's death. (And I'm sure someone has already written a scene or two where Summer and Cinder are "involved," let's say. Fanfiction is a wonderful and frightening realm.)  Ozpin has seemed distracted on several occasions, perhaps by thoughts of his previously mentioned past mistakes, one of which could very well have been getting one of his best huntresses killed and distancing Taiyang, among others. I could see Ruby's somewhat abrupt arrival at Beacon reminding him of that.
