Why will a company let go of the head of a department without notifying the team? I can tell from internal communication that the head of the department has been let go but nobody else on the team knows about it after more than a week.
Why will a company do such a move? As days go by, the team members will start asking questions.

Yes they can and often do such things. Why? Its anyones guess. This isn't really a question with a goal that can be addressed. It is only asking for speculations.

Can companies let go of the head of a department without notifying the
team?
Yes, they can.
Of course eventually someone on the team is going to notice and start to ask questions.
Every time I have seen a department head let go, the team is gathered in a conference room immediately afterwards to discuss the dismissal and answer questions. I think it's pretty foolish not to do it that way and I have no idea why a company would let the event go by without any mention.

Since a general answer could only provide speculations, I will tell you about the situations I encountered:
One of my manager really believe that power has something to do with withholding information. It is commonly accepted nowadays for different reasons:
- The people will misinterpret the provided information in most cases: they will not accept it as-is, and start making their own speculations.
- Having more information than the others, make you one step ahead.
- So combining the two previous reasons, my manager will not provide the information at all.
One of the team leader I work with is just bad at communication:
- You need a good timing to provide this kind of information
- When you are not good, you often miss it
- Then, the later the information is provided, the more ridiculous it will sound...
Who is actually in charge of this? If the information can be the source of problem, nobody wants to be accountable for it. If the company didn't clearly defined the person in charge of this kind of communication, who will be stupid enough to initiate it?
My personnal opinion: being transparent require some bravery and humility. Nowadays it is not something that a company will require from the managers...
