Well at that age he would have passed on his genetic material already. The point of the Darwin “award” is to praise genetically unfit people who die before reproducing, thus improving the fitness of the species and pushing evolution forward. So no, he doesn’t get a Darwin Award.

From the Darwin Awards' official rules:

> The existence of offspring, though potentially deleterious to the gene pool, does not disqualify a nominee. . . [E]ach nominee is judged based on whether or not she has removed her own genes, without consideration to the number of offspring or, in the case of an elderly winner, the likelihood of producing more offspring.

That’s hilarious. I think Darwin would disagree though.
