I have faith in Dan, but I'm really NOT digging these theories.
He's quit so many times, why even bother rehashing that (ASM #50, clone-saga, the Mackie/Byrne fiasco 'Final... ugh.... Chapter' and I vaguely recall a few other occasions where he tried to get rid of his powers with the intention of quitting).
He also disappeared of course, when he was buried alive by Kraven. And he was killed in a Todd McFarlane Spider-Man story in the early 90's or late 80's waaaaay before Morlun. He met Death if I recall.
Everything's been done. Whatever this is, it will be a rehash of a previous theme or story, and it will be temporary. If Spidey quits or dies, none of those will stick more than a year. No status-quo change has lasting power in Marvel these days.
Everyone is on the wrong track with the death thing. I know what Marvel has planned. They plan to reveal that secretly Peter Parker has been harboring his TRUE feelings...that he is a gay man. Take THAT Chic Fil A!
Well.... it'd be a more interesting story than him quitting or dying again. At least it'd be something new.
Pete also died in battle with Thanos way back in Spider-Man #15 (i think)
The issue you're talking about was in Spider-Man #17 and McFarlane had already left the book. It was a Spidey/Thanos/Death story that Ann Nocenti wrote. I don't know if I would count that as a time he died because it was a one and done story that has never been mentioned again.

I thought they were gonna make Miles Morales gay, but they backed off of that when people got upset at all the stereotypes they were trying to shove into one character...
Ummm, no it wouldn't. I think your out of your mind there a bit pal.

Because he's African American, Latino and (rumored to be originally conceived as being gay). There was a lot of accusations of Marvel using it all as a publicity stunt to capitalize on Obama's election and Donald Glover's campaign to be cast in the movie.
What proof is there? Just because he said so after the fact? If so, that's not really proof to me. He could easily had backtracked because of the negative responses.
