I know this is just a list of theories.

> or because there was a dead kangaroo on the road or something

There's few situations where someone might stop for a dead kangaroo, or really any other wildlife. Either because they see it's still alive, or because they're checking to see if it might be a female with live young.

If it's clear that it's dead, nobody is going to stop. On a road, in WA, in summer -- yeah you're going to smell that for a long ways. Scavangers will deal with it pretty quickly, anyway.

Do people ever eat roadkill kangaroos? I know it's fairly common for people to eat roadkill deer in America, if they know the kill is fresh.

Ever? Possibly. I've not heard of it though.

Some Aboriginal communities will hunt and eat Kangaroo.

Hunting Kangaroo for sport/'population control' is a thing in some areas. But the meat is usually either wasted or fed to animals. I understand that with wild Kangaroo you have to worry about parisites.

You can get Kangaroo meat at the supermarket though.
