There are several reasons such a story probably won't be done:

a) It will contradict Egomont's official view of the Duck-universe.

b) Death of characters is VERY seldom a topic in these kind of
Disney stories - especially when it comes to tragedies like
this would have been.

Yes, that would be something new, if there is a way it
could be done.
