    The Lion King follows lion cub Simba who is forced to leave the pride following the death of his father Mufasa.

    The death of Mufasa is among Disney's most iconic scenes, with viewers remembering how Scar whispered 'long live the king' before throwing him to his death where he's then trampled on by a herd.According to Christian's theory, the scene in the movie that shows Scar playing with a skull proves Mufasa's body was later eaten.

    Discussing the concept on Twitter, one person wrote: 'My whole childhood was a lie,' while a second penned: 'Scar is vicious. He did it. Scar is capable of anything roguish & more.'

    A third added: 'Scar's officially the most wicked cartoon character.'

    Others were not convinced by Christian's evidence and began sharing their own fan theories. 

    One person wrote: 'Okay that skull is probably a baboon. Mufasa was 'buried' around that river where Simba was shown and the whole cloud thing happened. That's my theory'

    Another commented: 'Scavengers. Lots of things will eat a dead animal. Like they're gonna come up on the body and say, I don't eat this kind of meat.'

    'Hyenas will eat anything they can. Lions usually don't die alone that's why hyenas can't eat them. But an ostracized lion will be hunted by hyenas,' a third penned.

    Agreeing, another added: 'Hyenas eat and kill lions. They just aren't strong enough but there is this documentary where a lion killed a pack leader and her cub lead the pack to kill the lion for revenge.'

    Others argue the conspiracy theory isn't accurate and it's more likely that the hyenas ate Mufasa's remains
