Damon Salvatore Destined to Die?

With season five almost at a close rumours have began to spread about a certain vampire from Mystic Falls. The guy everyone loves to hate and hates to love: Damon Salvatore.

In a recent interview with E! Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) himself stated...

"When Damon dies, it is the dopest scene."

“The ending, I think, is really gonna throw people. It definitely involves Damon in a very cool way. There is some very very cool stuff with Damon, Elena, Bonnie…stuff you just didn’t see…It is definitely a cliffhanger."

Would The CW really kill off Damon Salvatore? Did Somerholder just give us the biggest spoiler in The Vampire Diaries history? Are we really ready to let the destructive Byronic Salvatore brother go? 

I have a feeling that this 'death' won't be what we expect. After all, if vampirism can be cured by the blood of the doppelgänger's maybe this is only the death of his vampiric Damon. Or maybe if Bonnie is involved- she loses the burden of being anchor and regains her magic, bringing Damon back from the dead? With Caroline Dries (the series' executive producer) and the team, we never can be sure what's actually going on and it's implications for Mystic Falls.

With only a few episodes left we'll find out soon enough...
