[Donkey Kong Jr] Was Jr murdered or paid hush money to cover up Mario's past?

I dont think Jr ever appeared after he rescued his father. Now that Mario is a superstar, do you think Jr was paid off to hide that chapter in Mario's dark past, or is he sleeping with the fishies?

Well he probably wasn't murdered, since DK Jr. went on to have children. The Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong Country games is actually DK III, the son of Jr and grandson of the OG DK.

He probably just settled down after rescuing his father to raise his family.
