Due to his 25% Polish genes he could also have inherited the Slavic trait of every village needing its own village Methuselah/vampire/mummy/whatever term they use in other Slavic country. Now if you don't know what that is, lemme pigsplain. It's a person, usually one per village, who despite having abused their body for multiple decades with alcohol, cigarettes, sometimes even hard drugs, and despite looking like absolute shit and having multiple health issues, some niggling some serious, still somehow manages to cling to life until their 80s where the stroke, lung failure, liver failure or heart attack that's been way overdue for the past 4 decades finally takes them to the afterlife. My grandmother's brother was one of those, he looked so disgusting in his final decade of his life that the village children were terrified when they saw him because they thought he was a living corpse.
