Answer:

The age of the deceased might be 32 years or possibly more than that.

Explanation:

  • The complete development of the clavicle bone in females does not happen before 21 years of age. The same in males takes around 22 years.
  • Though the development of the clavicle bone happens by 21 to 22 years of age, it takes another 10 years for the bone to get completely fused.
  • The fusion of the clavicle bone in females happens at around 31 years and that in males happens at 32 years.
