To ask what age you would say is no longer dying young

[Whyohwhy88]

Although hard still I feel from 80 onwards it’s expected

75

80+

Gut says 70.

But 65+ isn't "young"

80 plus.

when prince Philip died, one of my DD’s friends posted “gone too soon” on her social media about it and she wasn’t being sarky!

I'd say 80+

Id say 75

My dad died at 64 and that felt very young. I would say 80+.

I had a relative pass recently at the age of 66 and that felt very young.

I would say 75+

I agree with you OP with 80.

Anything below 80, I feel like you’ve gone before your time.

65 is not even state pension age

I'd say 80s + too. But thats subject to change.

Years ago I might have said mid 70s onwards but my mum is 72 (stage 4 lung cancer) and dad is 75. I don't see either of them as old or near 'their time'.

My dad is the most capable person I know. My go-to. Fixed my central heating yesterday.

80

75ish maybe.

Average life expectancy is 83 for women, 79 for men, so 5-10 years before average seems like where I’d put “young to die”.

80 plus

I feel like 75 is the point where people stop asking what someone has died of, and just assume it’s somehow old-age related. As for gone too soon… some people wish they could check out at 35, and some aren’t close to done at 93.

But it still isn't "young".

My late-DH was 58 when he died, that felt like dying younger than expected. But not dying young, which would be 40's and earlier to me.

Probably 80.

I know 65+ isnt young but with modern medicine and good health it seems young to die. My mum is 70 and she’s extremely fit and healthy, takes no medication, exercises daily. Id be very shocked and upset if she just died. Im less healthy than her!

I'd say 75.

State pension age.

60-70+

My Dad was 46 that was so young I feel now anything below 85 is young.

80

Actually, "dying young" and "dying earlier than you'd expect" are really 2 different questions.

The OP was "dying young", but most people (and I) are probably answering "dying earlier than you'd expect".

80 onwards I'd say, although I'd like to see my 90s please!
