How Daniel Jonas Really Died On Days Of Our Lives

In 2009, "Days of Our Lives" viewers watched Dr. Daniel Jonas get some shocking news. After his close friend Carly Manning (Crystal Chappel) returned to Salem, he was told that he had fathered a child with Carly, who was given up for adoption. Carly and Daniel soon found out that Melanie Layton was their biological daughter and the two began to form a bond with her (via Soap Central). However, that wasn't the only new family member that Daniel would get after moving to Salem.

Bo and Hope Brady stumbled upon documents at Alice Horton's home that revealed that Daniel's parents used an egg donor to conceive him. The most surprising thing about the news was that the egg they used had been stolen from Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers). Daniel and Maggie were both shocked to find out that they were mother and son and immediately started up a loving relationship with each other (via Soaps in Depth).

Daniel was happily living as Maggie's son and a father of two with his fiancée Nicole Walker when tragedy struck, per Soaps. The fan-favorite character was killed off of the NBC soap opera and fans were stunned to see it all play out.
