Humm,some mer tend to live a really lot and that is often caused by their sheer  knowledge of the arcane,see Neloth for an example.He is not immortal(like Shadowmere) and he's not dead(like Saint Jiub) and yet he makes an appearance in two games.

And Gelebor lives in secclusion and meditation,it's sort of hard for mer to get senile with this lifestyle.About the lifespan of meri people(i created a thread about this not too long ago),no one seems to be quite sure about just how long elves can live.Look at Runil,in Falkreath,he's probably the most senile person we meet in the game(other than Septimus Signus).
