Well, I'm just under two-thirds of the way to 91 and I can safely say that more 91 year olds are dying this year than have died in previous years (on average). I think that this is a good thing because more people are living into that age range to do the dying.

Dementia is a concern, and there is an Erdos-like irony about the chap who invented a reliable reasonably fast memory system developing Alzheimer's.

The post above yours may have been commenting on the number of IT/Computer related deaths this year - I suppose that is inevitable given the explosive growth in computing technology that occurred in the 60s/70s.
