Celebrities Ages' Just Aren't Adding Up or Being Updated Correctly Each Year

Hello, I am writing to wonder why ages, birth dates and death date information of celebrities aren't always properly updated each year, and giving the incorrect ages of celebrities.

I'll give an example. The recent passing of actor Patrick Muldoon, yet his IMDb page for whatever reason lists his current age as "56 years old." This is NOT correct; he was born in 1968, so this year, he was 57 years old, especially at the time of his death. His IMDb page should've been more updated to include information about his death at the age of 57, and the question "How old is he" implies that he is still alive, which unfortunately, he is not. This is a disrespect to his memory, and his family must not see that his page lists him as "still alive" at "56 years old." That's not his correct age at all, and this should be updated immediately.

Even living celebrities have their ages incorrectly and NOT updated just yet. Another example is Martin Sheen, whose IMDb page for some reason in the FAQ section still lists his current age (this year) as "84 years old." If he was born in 1940, then he is NOT 84 years old anymore; he's obviously 85 years old, going on 86 this year in August. So, this information needs to be updated as soon as possible; I'm not sure how the math is incorrect in this case or not updated yet to reflect Sheen's current age.

And another tragically gone celebrity, Chuck Norris. His IMDb page still lists his current age as "85 years old", as if he is still alive. This is obviously NOT correct; he is deceased, and his age was 86, therefore his IMDb page should reflect that updated change. It's a disrespect to his memory to still see his page passing him off as still alive currently in the present time.

I don't know why IMDb doesn't update celebrities' pages with updated info about their deaths or their ages as their birthdays pass and come and go, and even their death dates information. This is not right, and it annoys me. Some things need to change. These updates need to be made immediately, as soon as possible.

Thank you.
