Title: Ballet can be murder
Post by jenniegurl on Jun 26^th, 2005, 8:29am

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, [hideb]Maybe her tutu got snagged on something, pulled up around her neck, and strangled her.[/hideb]

Well, if your guess is correct Noke Lieu, then the possibilities are endless.

[hide]Duncan = dancing horse
Duncan = dancing pony
Duncan = dancing tiger
Duncan = dancing kitten
Duncan = dancing fish.. ;D[/hide]

I think I had seen this as a Trivial Pursuit question, but I didn't remember the name.
