    Bullet point: Der 65-jährige TV-Star wurde nur 65 Jahre alt.

    Comment

    This is a bullet point above an online article discussing Bob Saget's death and the initial autopsy results.

    My question is: "Does this sound as idiotic in German as possible translations into English do?"

    "The 65-year-old TV star was just 65 years old" or similar.

    Am I missing something in the German, or was the writer just trying to dash something off in a hurry and wrote nonsense?

    Klare Antwort: Ja.

    Yes, it does, but I suspect a failed edit rather than an idiotic thought.

    I agree with both #1 and #2.
