Those theories are seen in EVERY story. The frequency of publication is irrelevant; just like in real life (e.g. the "Elvis is alive" theory), people just don't want to believe that someone they like (even a fictional character) is dead, and propose all kinds of theories to "prove it"; though usually highly twisted and unlikely, but they fail to realize that and attract a lot of followers anyway.

In most cases you won't be able to make them see their error no matter how you try to prove them how baseless their theories are and how all facts point to the opposite, they will stick to their ideas until they are refuted in their faces like in this case. That's why I usually avoid the discussions about theories in general. It is just frustrating, and the end, both sides will invariably remain where they began.

Like I once said, people don't believe what is more reasonable, or logical, or probable; they just believe what they want to believe.
