My grandpa was like that too. The last couple of years of his life, he was always mention how he was "ready to go." Somehow I think at that age, once you lose your will to live, the body just follows suit.
Similar situation with long-time couples. Often is the case where one of them passes away, and the other follows suit a short time after. Not all couples, but a fair number, and usually when they're elderly.
