In reply to Timmd:
> For context, it's younger than the life expectancy in 1940's England, which was 66. From a quick google, in the early 1900's people seemed to die in their early 40's. 52 is no age at all. Even my Dad born just after WW2 is in his late 70's, somebody Shane Warne's age should be been continuing on into his 80's and beyond, theoretically.
Quick reminder on how life expectancy works: people weren't all dropping dead in their 40s in the 1900s, people weren't all dropping dead in their 60s in the 1940s. People have been living into 70s, 80s and beyond for ages. Rather, a decrease in child mortality brings the average lifespan up.
