Line 61:
* In the novels of Deverry, the wizard Nevyn is unable to die until he fulfills a rash promise he made in his youth. He continued to age normally until he got into his nineties. After that, his body remained that of a somewhat vigorous ninety-year-old. But by the time he died at four hundred and seventy five, he was having some memory trouble—his mind couldn't handle all the information that was in there.
* In ''Eternity Row'' by S.L. Viel, the entire population of a planet develops a nasty case of Type VI, as the result of a dietary deficiency. The titular Eternity Row is the area of a city containing hospitals full of horribly wounded people who cannot die.
* In Terry Pratchett's ''[[Discworld]]'', History Monks "Sweeper" Lu Tze and the Abbot are both mentioned as being effectively immortal by two different means. The Abbot is continually reincarnated, transferring his memories to a younger body. But Lu Tze just seems to stay as a wiry old man forever.
