  The Duolingo owl was killed on February 11, 2025, when he was run over by a Cybertruck. When the official Duolingo Instagram announced his untimely death, they stated, “It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that Duo, formally known as the Duolingo Owl, is dead.” On February 12th, Webtoon posted that they found out their ex passed away. Webtoon is a comic app for people to upload and share comics with people, and they had a past dating Duo. They were devastated with the news and stated that “[they] should [have] studied harder for [him]...” before it was too late. Wattpad, Webtoon’s current partner, was unhappy when they found Webtoon missing their deceased ex.
  Scrubdaddy, Duo's current partner, was crushed when they found out that the beloved owl had passed. On February 12th, after discovering what murdered their partner, they posted "not the Cybertruck" and said they were going to be sick. Scrubdaddy and Duo allegedly have children together. If the alleged rumors are true, Scrubdaddy and Duo have a baby together, leaving Scrubdaddy a single daddy. On February 13th, the official Duolingo Instagram posted once again, announcing that every character working at Duolingo had died with the hashtag #RipEveryone. According to the post, Falstaff was murdered by illegal hunting, Zari died by no bidet, and Lily died due to a sincere hug by a cute child.
  Co-founder and CEO Louis von Ahn, also known as “Duo’s Daddy” stated that Duo answered his one question: “Spanish or Vanish?” Commenting on the passing of the beloved Duolingo characters, Duo's Daddy stated, “it[is] our turn to stand together to continue his legacy.” 
With the gorgeous, tall, and green owl no longer around, he can no longer threaten to kidnap people's families if they fail to complete their lessons. 
  On February 24, 2025, the official Duolingo Instagram posted a concerning question: “You think [he would] let a Cybertruck take [him] out?” All in all, Duo's death was all a hoax, leaving the world protected by his infinite wisdom once more. As for the other characters, there has been no word of their condition or whereabouts. There has not been any further update on Duo, he has just returned to his mundane life as a language owl.
