You are all too optimistic.
![]() I believe Gollum would almost instantly die with the Ring destroyed, turn into dust literally. It was the Ring that kept the 500++ years old hobbit alive. Note that after the Ring had been destroyed, Bilbo aged very fast: Quote:
As for Gollum, let us say he was 17 in TA 2463, when he got the Ring. He was physically still 17 when he lost it in 2941. He started to age normally, so by 3018 he was 17+77= 94 years old. He was still fit and quite well adapted to the life in the wilderness. In addition there might have been some lingering effects of the ring, making those who had it once age at a slower rate afterwards. However, Gollum knew that with the Ring destroyed he would die (becoming suddenly 573 years old and thus dead): Quote:
