Wendy says Pan will be immortal, all powerful and Henry will die. Is there a specific reason other than his 'Truest Believer' status and the fact the Wendy said this in 'Think Lovely Thoughts' that he would die? I was wondering if the death is caused by his heart being inside of another person. For that matter, can someone donate their heart to another (say Regina puts her heart inside Henry) to save another? Pan still has his own heart. When Daniel was given another, he didn't have his own and you could say that his body rejected it.

Henry must die for Pan to retain his semi-immortality because that is simply how the magic keeping Pan young works.
