What do we mean when we say something "died of old age"?
gpt
Dying of old age is certainly not a medical term. It means that the person or animal died of natural causes that are related to the natural aging of that species. usually related to some kind of cardiac or organ failure. Everybody dies of something, however, usually if the person is at, or past their normal life expectancy, whatever they die of (except for trauma and some specific non age related diseases) can be attributed to "old age."
