I'd say this is a likely reason. But also was Theodred's body mutilated upon his death? Anyone would be outraged at the death of children. And Theoden rages about Hama's mutilation more than his death alone. If Theodred was killed and his body not tampered with maybe Theoden viewed this as a far more honorable way for his son to die.
Of course it is surprising he would have nothing to say about his only child's death...
