Dad died in 2021 at age 78 he was sick for a long time and at lest he had the option of MAID (Medical assistance in dying). He went to palliative care and I think really that is what happened. He never said, the staff never said but they were constantly injecting him and he died in his sleep unaware.

My Mom is 79 and often says she doesn't know anyone when she goes out. Her eyesight and hearing are both poor but not to the point of not seeing or hearing at all. But she said in stores, church, anywhere she goes there is nobody she recognizes even older people. So if you make it to old age and are in good health not stuck in a home and are mobile and can converse with people it can be very lonely if you are not good at making friends at that stage of life.
