My mother told me for a while it was just used by doctors to explain away deaths that were not really explainable, be they smotherings from the mother, or the baby rolling over in its sleep. This was more prevalent in the 70's to 90's. Everyone kind of knew, but just assumed the doctor knew best as to the 'cause'.
There are also medical reasons, such as the development of the trachea coinciding with the time period in which SIDS is most prevalent. It is also associated with parents who smoke indoors and who smoked during pregnancy.
