I know that I am incredibly late to this party, but reading through the list as it is, I read a theory or two that are similar to my own.
I theorize that Aroden has been imprisoned in the Eye of Abendego by Zon-Kuthon to be broken by the alien god breakers of the Dark Tapestry. It was during this time that Aroden detached his soul from his body to seek assistance from the other gods in ending this threat.
I'm still fleshing out the rest of the backstory, but I would like to run it as a Mythic Campaign one day.
There are a few Aroden-related threads around here, but I wanted to point out a relatively new thread someone started about wanting to incorporate an investigation around his death for a campaign. It might help sow some ideas or present some new angles.
I've been entertained reading the conspiracy theories. :)

Just thought I'd share
Working on some big reveals about Aroden, Pathfinder's dead god of humanity, for an upcoming RPG book. Fun!
reveals are for losers.
That being said, the aboleth theories are intriguing until one remembers that they have memories and plots that go backwards - and forwards - for millions of years. a few millennia between the destruction of Azlant and the disappearance/death of Aroden is nothing to them, the rise and fall of Thassilon is a breath. Their schemes are completely incomprehensible to the mortal mind.
My guess is that Aroden - the Last Azlanti - just died. Somewhere in his abandoned heavenly palace, there's a bed and a body. His immortality wasn't perfect and his pretty heavy schedule of taking on bad guys like Tar Baphon wasn't exactly doing him any favors. Nothing grand, nothing special, not an Elder Evil in sight.

Well... not completely incomprehensible.
The aboleths hate gods. They hate the concept of divinity with a burning hatred that we mere mayfly mortals cannot hope to match.
And in their destruction of Azlant, they accidentally laid the groundwork for its last survivor to become a god, and set up a situation that has since empowered three more.
How furious must they be?

Why should they be furious? Aroden only lasted a short time from their point of view. One down, three to go....

Also, note, their actions indirectly killed two gods. So, the action of destroying Azlant killed two gods, and indirectly lead to the elevation of 4 more, 1 of which has since died. All things considered, it didn't end up too badly.
