But Trevor’s solitary existence, which attracted global attention and earned him the distinction of the “world’s loneliest duck,” has come to a tragic end. “We’ve had confirmed reports that Trevor the Duck — Niue has died,” read a post Friday on the duck’s official Facebook page, which is run by Finlay. The story, called “The sorry tale of Niue’s only duck,” went viral and helped launch the duck to international fame, Finlay said. “Somebody saw the dog attack.”Niue’s “lovely little duck friend” was laid to rest by a group of locals near his puddle, Finlay said. When Finlay first spotted Trevor in the puddle last year, she never thought he would take up a permanent residence on the island.
