Ducky was played by the actor Graham Phillips, and he was a recurring character for several seasons. However, he was not killed off.
He was written out of the show because the actor was pursuing other opportunities, like a leading role in the Broadway show "The Snow Queen."
It's important to note that Ducky's exit was a natural progression in the story, as he grew older and his character arc was complete.
