It would have been interesting to see how long he would have lived if he'd died of natural causes. If he'd got over 120 people would probably be more suspicious.
Obviously sad he died anyway, not just because we didn't get to see any changes in opinion!
I also think it's sad, almost ironic. Technically he died doing what he loved. We don't really know if he had any unexposed health issues he was hiding from the public. There's nobody over 80 that doesn't have health problems.
In no way is his death a positive thing, but at the same time it may have spared him from slowly going downhill or dying a painful death.
Looking at him, I think he was about 106.
