What does this mean for his brother Peter, given that they were twins? I'm not sure if they were identical twins, but I suspect that the longevity for twins is pretty similar.

Never thought about that but you make a good point.

There are some exceptions. John McCain's mother is still alive, having turned 108 last month. Her sister Rowena passed away in 2011, six months shy of her 100th birthday. John McCain's mum:

If you can call that an exception...both had incredible longevity, and are thus far still within 10% of one another in terms of lifespan.

David was a "starving artist". He tried desperately getting accounts with his interior design and photography to no avail. He recently tried getting a jewelry store account for his photography which he was turned down and he took that very hard.
He was very creative and maybe tried to do too much of everything (interior design, photography, music, shooting movies, poetry ) instead of just concentrating and putting his energy into one thing 100 percent. Who knows why he didn't stick with just shooting bodybuilding/bodybuilders is beyond me. Maybe contracts prevented him from doing this, I'm only guessing. But David had that cutting edge bodybuilding photography and why he didn't run with it is still a mystery.
It seems David was on the spectrum or doing some kind of substance with the way he was acting and also his writing/spelling skills. It was just not spelling mistakes but some of his posts made no sense and he sometimes rambled
I'm not putting David down, I think he was a good man and had a loving heart. He had no animosity towards his ex wife and really loved creating new and different things. If you could get past how he spoke, he truly was a breath of fresh air.

STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He should have gotten a job stocking shelves at PUblix or something, with some kind of insurance plan. Probably hadnt seen a doctor in years. Very common situation

They are more likely to die at around the same time. Like pretty much every Human attribute longevity is a product of genetics and environmental factors (in this case mostly lifestyle). So if one identical twin takes up smoking and the other does not, that will cause a change in life expectancy. So too will differences in diet, exercise, work activities, residential location etc etc etc.

Well, they've done a lot more than just smoking so all bets are off.

What a great, meaningful and fulfilling life he must've lead. I mean, wasn't he the inofficial record holder of the "reverse grip bench press" in the 1980s....

I thought he would outlast his brother. R.I.P

He looked very young and healthy. I guess Vegans aren't as healthy as they think. He was very entertaining and probably smarter than he led on. He was very forgiving considering how his ex wife totally screwed him over. RIP
