Whatever happened to Eric's parents? Did they die? If so, how I wonder?

Ofcourse they're dead, where else would they be? Maybe it was due to an epidemic.

I always thought if they DID die, they were lost at sea like Elsa and Anna's parents.

A possibility. Although I'm not sure the king and the queen would travel together by ship that often.

I used to think Grimsby was his dad for some reason.

Wasn't the old guy (that gave him the life size statue) his father?

Given that Disney tends to kill off parents (except in 101 Dalmatians where the parents are the main characters) I think Eric's parents died in a shipwreck or may have been murdered. To me Grimsby seemed to take care of Eric the same way Alfred took care of Bruce Wayne in basically every Batman production. Better yet, Grimsby is Eric's answer to Bruce Wayne having Alfred.
