Well, death is not that fluid though...

I don’t think he is dead. A dead man would probably not care about his age.

He was dead previously but now he is transdead after petitioning to have his death certificate changed.

I think in this situation age is like sex and the concept the subject calls age is really like mindset or mental age, which would be more like gender.

Although many states will amend drivers licenses so that sex is recorded as the subject’s gender [0].
