Maybe looking at the average is the wrong thing to do. People who die from cancer can be robbed of a lot of years. A couple of other recent cancer deaths I saw on HN:
Walter Ehmer died at 58 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41490388
Jake Seliger was also known on HN died around 40: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41201555
