(I don't believe that this is spoily; it reveals nothing about actual
gameplay or the game's structure, only about a single counterintuitive
point.)
Very simply: there's a slightly illogical behaviour in the game code,
such that (IIRC the details correctly) any hit from a ghost which kills
you is said to have aged you to death, regardless of what age it
actually brings you to. In other words, what killed you was having your
HP come down below 1, not having your age go up too high.

Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any
side of it.
Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
