Crushed Duncan - Stage

Day 33

As you know by now, Chris, there is one person on the stage. Or rather, one whole person. If you look closer, however, you'll see the bloody mess of another one of the teens you left to die. 

Duncan.

I would advise you leave now Chris. Leave before he realizes who you are. Because when he does, you'll find it hard to breathe. Like the air is being pushed out of your lungs. Like you're being crushed from the inside out. You'll gasp for breath, try your very best to get out of this so you can pretend none of it ever happened, but the air around you is thick with sorrow and suffocation. That's what it felt like for him to die. That's what it felt like for him to see her like this. 

You won't feel bad for him. You'll think that because he was a criminal he deserved it, like you were any better than him. But he was just a kid. They all were. He could have changed. He could have moved out of the way. But he didn't, because he wanted to protect her. And even in death, that's still his mission. He knows it's your fault Chris. And he won't be as merciful as the others. So turn around and walk away while you still can. 

Body found by: Gwen

Explanation: After Gwen and Duncan found Courtney's body, he decided to sit beside her for the rest of the day. Around sunset, the killer discovered him sitting there. They climbed up on the rafters above the stage, and with a knife, cut loose the stage light hanging above him. Duncan had seen the killer and knew what they were doing, but he stayed in place because he's a huge softie and wanted to protect Court. The light fell on him and he died quickly but painfully, suffocating under the stage light after it had crushed him. Gwen came back after hearing the crash, and found what remained of his body. (The whole bit about him sitting next to Courtney's body for a day after finding her is canon to IOTS, so this death is just what might have happened had the killer found him there)
