Duncan was a famous dancer who was found strangled. The police didn't suspect murder. Why?

Maybe they suspected suicide. If he was strangled using a rope or maybe a tie, tightly tied in the front, still there, and if he was in a room locked from inside and left a letter behind?

Perhaps the death was clearly accidental. In particular, | hidden: | | Maybe her tutu got snagged on something, pulled up around her neck, and strangled her. |

Well, if your guess is correct Noke Lieu, then the possibilities are endless.
Duncan = dancing horse
Duncan = dancing pony
Duncan = dancing tiger
Duncan = dancing kitten
Duncan = dancing fish..
