Very sad, for sure. Out of curiosity, I wanted to look up some statistics, as to me I would have not considered 65 "dying young", but maybe I'm too pessimistic.

"There is a 30% chance of making it to your 90th birthday, and only about 14 in 1,000 will see 100. 70 year olds have a somewhat better prognosis. Almost 2/3 of 70 year old men and almost 3/4 of 70 year old women will live at least another ten years, and over 1/5 of men will make it to 90, as will 1/3 of women."
