Duncan's roommate, fellow model Johanna Edelberg, told police they were smoking marijuana when she went to listen to music in another room. When she returned to the kitchen, she found Duncan's body, police said.

Duncan's family reportedly told police she had been depressed. She did not leave a suicide note.
