  • Michiel Vandeweert, 28

    From Newsgroup: alt.obituaries

    Michiel was born in Belgium on June 13 1998. With his 28 years old he
    was one of the oldest progeria* patients in the world. Doctors predicted
    he wouldn't live to be older than 12 years. I just heard he passed away
    today and thought he deserved a place here.

    He did a TED Talk when he was 19yo: <https://www.ted.com/talks/michiel_vandeweert_life_s_short_make_the_most_of_it>

    His sister Amber (20) is now the only progeria patient in Belgium.
