There’s only been one fatality outside of China and he was 44.

I'm not familiar with the case. Where was he and was he immune compromised at all or is that known? Without knowing much more about the patient; it would be hard to say why he succumbed to this virus. Some people simply don't take care of themselves so they are in generally poor health. That would also be a high risk person.

This is the best I can do with a cursory search:

The victim was a 44-year-old male Chinese national, who died on February 1. He was the companion of a 38-year-old Chinese woman, who arrived in the Philippines from Wuhan on January 21 after travelling through Hong Kong.

Over the course of the patient’s admission, he developed severe pneumonia, the Philippines’ Department of Health said.
