I want your theory.
Not sure if I'm even allowed to post threads xD
Oh well.
I'll write mine below (but Thirteen already knows about it razz )
So yeah. That spoiler is my theory. Let me know what you guys think! biggrin

This is what my friend and I came up with:
The whole episode, was, of course, a flashback from John's point of view.
Therefore, he must have missed details.
Let's begin with where John was standing at time of incident.
He was on a road. With a one story building between him and St. Bart's/Sherlock. This means that he could see Sherlock, but not the street below and the events that could have happened before he ran around the building. Sherlock knew this. Which is why he told him to stand there.
John was in shock. He'd just seen his best friend in the world tell him that everything he adored was a lie. When Sherlock fell, John wouldn't have been able to see Sherlock land on the truck of mattresses/soft stuff, roll off, and lie on the ground. By the time John got there, there was a crowd. If you rewatch the scene carefully and don't get your heart broken into teeny pieces, you'll see a man reach into his coat. Possibly pulling out a bag of fake/real blood. Who knows.
Which leads us to the fact that Mycroft had a part in this (we already know he must have been in on it). He hired those people and cleared the street of ordinary people. If he can fill a plane with dead people, he can clear a street.
Finally, John was disoriented. By the bicyclist and his fall-on-ground-and-hit-head incident. Concussions cause confusion. When he went over to Sherlock, he checked for Sherlock's pulse in his wrist. If he had checked Sherlock's neck, there would have been a pulse, for Sherlock used the ball trick, which, by placing a small ball beneath your arm, you stop the pulse in your wrist. Also, John could have checked for eye reflexes, and touched Sherlock's eye, but it was bloody.
I've heard theories like Sherlock's body could have been Moriarty with a mask. Sorry, but, preposterous. How would Sherlock have enough time to apply a synthetic mask on Moriarty to make it seem real? The body falling seemed to move realistically as well, and Andrew Scott's frame is hard to envision as Benedict's six-foot-something height.
Molly played a role. Definitely. She probably prepared a body and made it look like Sherlock for the funeral.
As mentioned before, Mycroft knew.

Connor the Hobbit is entitled to a large portion of the credit for this theory.
(okay, not ninety percent. You gotta admit, a good amount of this thing was common sense, except for the ball thing, the flashback-john-misses-out-on-important-details, etc.)
