When a patron dies, one shouldn't simply remove the patron from the database,
in order to keep track of the patron's past circulation history. However,
setting the expiration date to the patron's death date doesn't prevent the
system from increasing the patron's age (indefinitely, as time passes), which
is then displayed in the patron's details.

I would then suggest to introduce some "death_date" additional field to the
patrons table, and modify moremember.pl to compute the final age using
death_date rather than the current (today's) date, whenever death_date is
nonempty.
