Old age

The body organs wear out. Although doctors say someone of 98 is healthy, they mean for their age. Not having significant problems of any one type. They literally die of old age. Sorry if you have lost someone close to you.

There appears to be a code in our DNA that causes our obsolescence - everything just starts to close down and fail. I think it is nature's way of ensuring that our earth is not overrun with humans although I think poor old Mother Nature is having a hard time now keeping abreast of the population explosion.
It seems that scientists can now crack the DNA code and alter it to promote longevity till say, 160 years of age, but in all honesty, who would want it? People would begin to find you boring by then and would be getting desperate for their inheritance.

They might be relatively healthy but you have to remember they're organs are getting old and sometimes heredity is also a factor. Another thing is where they live, how they are cared for, get proper nutrition and have a bit of a social life. This all adds up.

Its not the age or health , we all have to die one day . But there is one thing important ,when we die people remember us as a good human.
