Means nothing. I've known more people of all ages who died suddenly,
unexpectedly with no warning, (from a cardiac event, stroke, fall,
crash, accident) than from terminal illness.

Death is too arbitrary and random for anyone to guess the midway
point of life. The older I get the more I appreciate the sheer luck of
being alive.
