Despite the official clarification, the online world is filled with conspiracy theories. Unverified snippets of CCTV footage are circulating, claiming to show Yu Menglong 'hanging' from the apartment window before falling. There is also another video showing a figure resembling Yu running in a parking lot and being chased by someone before allegedly being dragged.

Photos of the incident location have been widely discussed: several Chinese media outlets published images of curved scratches on the window frame of a fifth-floor apartment. According to building technicians, the mosquito net on that window is 'not easy to remove' without special tools, so the presence of the scratches is considered by netizens as a sign of a struggle before the fall.

Authorities are taking strict action against the spread of false news. In their report, the police stated that there are three individuals who deliberately fabricated and spread false information regarding Yu Menglong's death for sensationalism and internet traffic. The three individuals have been designated as suspects. One of them, for example, claimed that Yu was forced to drink and then attacked before jumping. The police stated that all these rumors are untrue and will be processed according to the law. This arrest was reported on September 21, along with the results of the official investigation.

They are questioning the oddities of this case, from the behavior of friends present at the scene to the lack of official explanations. One viral tweet demanded: "Don't lie! The investigation results came out so quickly, the chronology is questionable". Some fans even highlighted personal details about Yu Menglong, such as the fact that he was afraid of heights (acrophobia) and was active on social media the night before his death, to strengthen the suspicion that his death was not a suicide.
