You should watch some of the UK hospital programs, you might be surprised how many so called healthy and fit people, particularly in that age group collapse suddenly when exercising and often die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hit 68 at the end of this year, and just hoping I make it to life expectancy when born. Parents only made it 69 & 74 (mother), drinkers & smokers. So I should do a bit better. Seems to be a lot of guessing after 2007, especially if born recently ... 80's So if making it to 65, we could be good for another 13 yrs, if reading correctly. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/TR/2011/lr5a4.html Edited July 19, 2022 by KhunLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, the persons that found the body should be blamed for not checking his age first with a quick visit to his home and looking at his passport, then consult you on the correct adjective to use, then finally inform the police. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted July 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2022 Very sad. Probably never know what happened. Could have leaned over the rail for a quick rest and had a heart attack. Could have been hit by a truck and tossed over the side. I had a schoolfriend in the UK. At age 21 he sat on the wall of a small bridge on the way back from a country pub, lost his balance, fell backwards about 10 feet down and broke his neck and drowned in 2 feet of water. I suspect a similar thing happened here. RIP fella. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
