As I understand it (and have experienced it) it is a resonance thing to do with frequency. So all it takes is the right speed to be attained and held and it can develop. Usually related to low tires or shocks, but some bikes have inherent tank slap ranges that you either stay below or punch through fast.
Whatever the cause, I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
