Only because of COVID (in the UK at least). It has been going up again over the last couple of years.
We are all going to die

I've already died twice.
Only for tax and insurance purposes, mind.

Didn't Snowdonia national park recently isue a plea to stop people scattering human ashes? Apparently it's very heavy ash and doesn't disperse.

Life expectancy dropped because we has about 15 million deaths world-wide during the pandemic. So yes, the average life expectancy will have gone down.

On the subject of ashes
when my Dad died he had expressed a wish that he might like his ashes spread in the bay we used to go to on holiday when I was young
It was a very very quiet part of Southern Ireland - a bay on the North side of the Bere Peninsula
anyway - shortly after his illness got worse and he died
so I sorted ou tthe funeral and all that and got the ashes back
so I arranged a short holiday for myself and booked a few nights in a B&B down there and went to the bay one day
It was one of those days where the wind comes and goes but I got to the end of the pier and climbed down onto the rocks at the end and waited until the wind dropped
then threw the ashes up out over the water
JUST as I did that a sudden gust shot in and the ashes were picked up and blown right across the whole bay directly towards the exact cottage that we always stayed in and must have pretty much hit the front of it in a clod and them blown off into the where-ever
It was weird how that gust came up at that exact moment and blew directly to that specific cottage and the ashes stayed togetehr in a cloud rather than spreading out all over the bay as the flew along
and that they stayed together over that distance
Which was rather weird
but it did give me the feeling that I had got it right!

The first person to reach the age of 200 has already been born, says Stuart Kim, Professor of Developmental Biology at Stanford University.
He said that about 10 years ago so the first person to 237 is also already born.
Maybe.
