there is no “dying of old age”

you die because your organ stopped working properly. as for what stopped working? there are a lot

your heart might suddenly just jiggle on its place, you suddenly get a huge blood clot in your brain during your sleep, your brain aneurysm pop because of the thinning of blood vessel due to age, etc etc

aging itself is the proof of cellular damage. so basically when you die of old age, it’s simply a lot of your cells stopped working properly, which can lead to a chain reaction of organ failure
