Killian, Emma, Regina, and Snow. and we know that there is a headstone in Robin's future, so that's 5. with plenty of opportunity for the rest of the gang, sans Rumple, to join in the "festivities".

If the rumors are true, then Robin will die in 5x21. Nothing confirmed, and it could happen that Robin is assumed dead by the other heroes, but is in actuality being held or is transported. Think either Archie in Cricket Game, or Neal at the End of Season 2 beginning of Season 3.

But, in any event, after this half season, I would not anticipate any death (Fake or otherwise) in the finale. And I am honestly hoping for some type of ending that will allow for a significant time jump, so that Belle has her Baby, and the show can catch up their subjective time to present day. Trapped is something different-ish. The only way to regain life is to trade a life and they did nothing to deserve that via magic and it depends how they solve their dilemma. If they have to exchange lives (or magic that does that) then they could be considered dead, but then there's the iffy "What do they do with the body?" Everyone in the Underworld is in their "soul" form and don't even have hearts, while Emma does, just not accessible.

Robin could be dead, or mysteriously abducted or something that we might have to wait for.

Don't need a time jump when you have magic onion rings!
