McDuck Found Dead in “Money Bin”
Duckburg- Long-time Duckburg resident and banking magnate Scrooge McDuck was found dead in his “Money Bin”, on Saturday.
McDuck, who was born into poverty in Scotland before becoming “The World’s Richest Duck” from gold mining and subsequently banking, had been a resident of Duckburg since immigrating to the United States in 1902. He built a storage facility for his money, so that he could monitor his wealth, which he called his “Money Bin”, on the hill adjacent to his mansion.
McDuck’s friends and family expressed sadness at the elderly banker’s demise, but found comfort in that he had lived a “Rich, long life” according to his nephew and Family Spokesman Donald F. Duck, who vowed the family would continue the work that his uncle started.
McDuck, who according to sources near the family, went swimming daily in the “Money Bin”, went missing after going for an evening swim on Friday. After drudging the bottom of the “Money Bin” for several hours on Saturday morning, they found his body. The cause of death is unknown, though an autopsy will take place on Monday.
The possibility of foul play is not being ruled-out; as was demonstrated when the Duckberg Police arrested the “Second Richest Duck in the World”, McDuck’s long-time rival, South African Diamond baron Flintheart Glomgold, at his home in Duckburg early Sunday morning.
The Billionaire’s Club of Duckburg, in which both McDuck and Glomgold hold membership, extended their condolences to the MacDuck family in a press release authored by fellow club member John D. Rockerduck, which was distributed to all press outlets on Saturday afternoon.
McDuck is survived by his Sister Matilda, Brother-In-Law Ludwig von Drake, Nephew Donald Duck, Niece Della Duck, and his Great-Nephews Huebert “Huey”, Deuteronomy “Dewey”, and Louis “Louie” Duck.
A Memorial service will be held at 2:30 on Saturday at the First Presbyterian Church of Duckburg. His family request that rather than donations to charity, monetary gifts be given to the family in McDuck’s name. “It’s what he would have wanted” his nephew added.
