Chris Kelly wasn't the only notable who died at about this age:
That’s exactly half the life of somebody famous. In another 43 years and 304 days, you will have lived exactly as long as Géo Voumard. He was a jazz pianist who co-founded the Montreux Jazz Festival and wrote the first Eurovision-winning song who died at the age of 87 years, 245 days.Comment
Nikolay Yazykov was a week younger than you when he died on December 26, 1846. He was a Russian Golden Age poet and collector of Russian folk poetry. He died 120 years before you were born.Comment
You've outlived Captain Robert Scott by almost two weeks. He was a British polar explorer. He died of starvation on March 29, 1912, 55 years before you were born.Comment
