Was Soichiro Yagami that much close to his natural lifespan?


Shoichiro dies from wounds inflicted by Mello soon after making the Shinigami
Eyes deal. Since he didn't even use the Death Note (nor was any DN used on the
people involved in the incident) prior to his death, it can be assumed that
the DN did not change the lifespans of anyone indirectly involved in some
killing.

So because his lifespan was halved with the eyes deal and he dies a few
hours/days later (lets assume he underwent surgery and a few days seems
reasonable) was his natural lifespan that much short?




The answer is yes and no. He himself said that he was thinking about suicide
and that he probably would have done it within a few days. At this point, his
lifespan was that short. But his "natural livespan" is unknown (and was
probably longer) since his son's use of the DN led him into this situation.
