It does run in my family but not everyone has it. Both grandmas did. They
died in their 80's. Both grandpas died fairly early. One when I was 8 and
the other when my dad was 8. But I had great uncles and aunts who lived
anywhere from 80 to about 100 and my great grandparents on my dad's side
lived to a great age. Great grandpa died on his 100th birthday. Not sure
how old my great grandma was when she died but it was about a year after he
did. They said that she died of a broken heart. He died due to stupidity.
But was it caused by senility? Dunno. He was smoking a cigarette while
doing something or other with gasoline and lit himself on fire. The burns
were very bad and it was an infection in the burns that caused his death.
However, I have seen plenty of young men do the same stupid thing.
