It's debatable whether or not the use of the avatar state was why he died at 66 years of age. He died of natural causes, and the use of the avatar state contributing to his death was never clear. "All that time in the iceberg caught up with him" doesn't necessarily mean that that's what killed him. It could just mean that while he didn't age for 100 years, he died eventually.

People can naturally die of old age at only age 50, why is the avatar any different?
