The rumors surrounding the boy's death are that he allegedly stole some coconuts he sold, which was why he died. However, the brother of the deceased debunked these rumors in an interview with Citinewsroom as he said:
The coconut was plucked at our family house at Sokode Bagble. The coconut tree belongs to our uncle, and he was aware we were plucking some of the coconuts. I personally climbed the tree to pluck it. I plucked them from 6 trees. My brother who is dead now did not climb the tree. I even paid some people who helped in climbing with me. I only sent him to come and sell them
