No one really really "dies of old age". The maximum lifespan of humans is currently around 120 years. Hardly anyone makes it this far.
There's always a physiological cause for death and disease process, like a failing heart that stops beating, etc.
Age itself does not cause death, disease from age causes death.
When an autopsy is done on someone, the doctor is never going to put down "death from old age".

Umm, that is not a valid cause of death, in my opinion, and it's overused by doctors who are too lazy to bother to try to determine what contributed to the patient's death. In any case, most folks in their 80's and 90's on up are said to die of old age. It's an arbitrary number.

I would say above 70 years old, and if when they died it was discovered that there was nothing physically wrong with them.

no one dies of old age... but you look like people would say that about you if you died today.
