That would have made him either 99 or 100 if he had lived that long. He actually died on March, 31, 1962 at the age of 70. Which actually means that he beat the average by 1- 1.5 decades, since the average age of death for men in the 1960s was 55-60 years old.

You're right, the info I saw had the date wrong! Fixed.
