I'm not quite sure what to think of this, and I'll try to keep it short though I don't know how well I'll succeed...

First, I'm using version 1.00.05, and I got my VF game from LDW. I have a family where all 5 kids are gone away to college, and the mom died, leaving the dad all alone. He is (or was?) 65, and was back to being Elated.

So I was enjoying watching him walking on the treadmill when I noticed that the toilet was blocked. I picked him up to have him fix it, but as I dropped him onto the toilet, he looked up and closed his eyes, and though he was still standing (in the bathroom), and I could see him just as well as I could a moment ago, I can no longer select him.

It was a little disturbing to me to see him wandering around the house but not being "selectable". I quit my game and then opened it again, and found him lying on the bed, and then the announcement that he had passed away popped up.

I just thought this was a little strange. And I was hoping he'd live longer than 65 virtual years, since his health bar was all the way full...

Did I do something wrong? Or do our little virtual people die even if they have perfect health?
