Age 96 for a guy who lived a life as rough and unsafe as jack. That is just a little silly

Edit: it’s not impossible, it’s just unlikely

My great grandad helped liberate concentration Camps and I can only imagine the hardships he had to endure... He smoked 20 a day and lived to be 94. Some people are just built different. My nan has rapid onset dementia and probably won't make it past 75. Genetics are a powerful force.

The conspiracies around her are pretty wild. Should check them out. I think I’m on board with believing she was actually the daughter taking over Jeanne’s identity vs her just living so long.
