Progeria is an aging disease: people who suffer from it age very quickly, and die young. Charles Charlesworth, possibly the first known case, was born on March 14, 1829 in England. At age four he began growing whiskers, and shortly afterwards his veins and tendons stood out in relief from his skin, his hair turned white, and his skin became wrinkled. At the age of seven, Charles died. The coroner assessed the cause of death as old age.
