I believe he will not die, not now, not ever. Snow White deserves her happy ending, and she will not have it without him. I know she could move on and love someone else, like Regina is likely to do in upcoming episodes; but David dying would make the whole "I will always find you" arc (which is actually the main arc of the whole series, at least untill Season Two) would be completely destroyed.

It would be something like killing Henry, or Snow, or Regina, or even Rumple. Maybe he is not a mastrmind, a manipulative witch, or the Truest Believer, but he is Snow's true love, and that is something they can just get rid of. They wanted to do it before they started writing the Pilot, but they (luckily) realized it wouldn't make sense if you will Snow's happy ending before she ends it ;)
