A statue to commemorate Terry Fox

The moment Susan stepped into the mansion, she was mesmerized by how beautiful everything looked. A butler stoically led Susan through the great halls of the mansion. As she followed along, Susan spotted a portrait of an old man. This was probably to commemorate the late master of the mansion, she thought. This man was a part of diplomatic corps but fell ill a few weeks ago. Susan was a surgeon that tried to save this old man's life but as she failed, she came here visit his son, his only relative. Impeccably dressed maids, who were cleaning the house, glanced in Susan's direction. The butler finally stopped and opened a door. Susan looked around the room. As she looked down on the floor, she saw blood. She traced the blood to the corpse. The corpse resembled the old man in the portrait. Was this his son? Was he dead? Susan was petrified. Sure she saw a lot of blood before, but she never saw a crime. The butler that stood next to her started shouting. Maids ran into the room but didn't touch the corps. The beautiful mansion turned chaotic. After a few seconds of pure horror, Susan decided to use all her acquisition as a surgeon to see if she could still save the man. The police came a little bit later. They wanted all the staff out of the mansion but all of them refused in the same manner. It was almost like they were mimicking each other. The police tried to negotiate with the staff, telling them that the accommodations won't be that bad but the more they said, the more dissuaded the staff looked.
