I think there's probably a lot of context you're leaving out
You know a better approach to your theory might have been to ask op if they were an otherwise model employee, or if there were any other circumstances that may have added to this one incident to account for being sacked. Or perhaps query what aort of job it was. If it was a supermarket job, or a paper round or something basic like that then perhaps the staff turnover is great anyway and something like visiting a dying relative is a drop in the ocean of the reasons someone may lose that job.
I just think that being presumptuous and condescending might be the reason so many dislike your comment.
Just my opinion though.
Given they said they were a teenager, I'm going to assume not. Also no, it's just getting downvoted because that's how hiveminds work. It also works in reverse when they happen to agree with you. It's not that deep.
Ooooor you sound like you think you know the other person's life better than they do. Like a manager who thinks it's appropriate to fire someone while their relative is actively dying. No hive mind here, just a gaping asshole.
