That was nearly my great-grandfather. Completely healthy until he was 103. Didn’t need glasses, walked without support, lived alone, completely there mentally and had a fantastic memory. Then he got shingles which affected his throat so eating was painful. He was dead two weeks later. Went from completely healthy to dead practically overnight.
