He died after going to a tavern (maybe he ran into a now magical Cora who was taking the hearts of some former employers?), and David has always had references to the Biblical David (shepherd, king, slayed a giant... dragon) and in the Bible, David was the best friend/lover of Jonathan, so it makes sense that there'd be a Jonathan related to Once!David.

Let's just pause on that idea. At least he is a man, although he would be older than youn Cora, he would have still been capable. But with thousands of people in the world, I highly doubt there is only one tavern going man. Plus, I'm certain that James and David's father lived in a different kingdom, had a different profession, and was probably blonde (or dirty blonde).
