When Rumple stabs and kills peter, he stabs his own shadow as well thus apparantly killing himself. I use app because it is entirely possible he is not dead and we will find that out in march. Are you sure that Rumple's shadow enters Peter Pan's body? From the scene, it looks as if it enters his own… I got this from a youtube comment. I wanted to post it here because its very interesting O:

Watch the scene closely. He and Pan are in an embrace when he skewers Pan. Because of the close embrace, the dagger goes through Pan and into Rumpel too. And this transfers the Dark One's power to Pan, which turns him old again. Since the Dark One is killing both himself and the next Dark One to be, the cycle is broken and both of them disintegrate into light and die. This was Rumpel's plan to kill Pan all along, and also his "undoing" that the prophecy spoke of.
