Genesis 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Genesis 5:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.
Genesis 5:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
Genesis 5:29 And he called his name Noah
Methuselah lived to the age of 969 years old. When he was 187, Lamech was born and he lived another 182 years 'til Noah was born.
187 + 182 = 369. So, Noah was born when Methuselah was 369.
The Flood came when Noah was 600. 600+369 is 969, which is how old Methusalah was when he died, so scripture confirms that Methusalah died when the flood came...
Gen 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
So after Methuselah died at age 969, that was the same year the flood came.

So he died 1656 (from Adam's birth counting).
