He made it to 100

Yeah and I'm happy for him on that front. It's just that my default prior is "death is a bad thing" until I get some information to suggest otherwise (e.g. person is suffering and would prefer to die, or person is a monster (e.g. billionaires, politicians, cops, serial killers)).

It's sad because he's dead but how is it depressing?

I don't know. I just personally didn't feel better when I read it. And I don't feel good about it now. ☹️
