I was going through my various villages doing "maintenance". Letting the dead be buried, checking to see if any are sick, making sure that the teenagers all have at least one task that they know how to do, etc. I spotted a villager who was 80 years old, and seemed healthy. But since I usually don't see them that old wandering about the village, I thought that I would see what I could do to keep him around a bit longer.

So I bring him over to the magic fruit, and he's enjoying it when suddenly... right before my eyes... he disappears and his skelaton shows up in the village center. Poor guy.
