There has so far not been ANY mention of Donald's parents in the 
Paperino Paperotto/Donny Duck stories, at least not in the Egmont 
stories (haven't read most of the Disney Italia ones). This means that 
Donald's parents do not necessarily have to be dead; they might be 
living happily on the other side of the world, or anything else.
