Duncan's death technically occurs off-stage, in Act 2 between Scenes 1 and 2. Macbeth states at the end of 1.1 "I go, and it is done. The bell invites me./Here it not, Duncan, for it is a knell/That summons thee to heaven or to hell." (1.1.63-65) When 2.2 opens, Macbeth has already killed Duncan, and is giving the news to Lady Macbeth.
