Life expectancy of men *at birth*. Once you've made it to ten years old, those statistics don't apply any more. In other words, the average lifespan of a 10-year old boy is not 65.8 additional years.
Even then, you’d be surprised that his lifestyle didn’t impact his lifespan more negatively. But you’ll have chain smokers who live into their nineties.

And, how it was emotionally very….accurate? I had internali…
Ironically, the daughter's vlog [2] protesting the first fake "I'm dying" confession [1] helped the story gain traction, there was a second fake video of a random female voice claiming to be her [3] verifying the original story [1] which is probably what you saw.
