Going by information on the wiki, assuming a dwarf isn't an intelligent undead, a necromancer, or lacks a defined 'MAXAGE' they are supposed to die of old age at the beginning of each year between 150-170 years of age.

i guess what caused those dwarfs to live longer was the fact that they have a werebeast virus on them.

The curse only provides agelessness if they got the curse directly from a god, [Statue toppling]. If they got bit by the. Subject zero we'll say. Then they won't be ageless.

Vampirsim of course, also grants agelessness.

They can definitely die. I had a dwarf die once of old age, and his tombstone said something along the lines of "Passed peacefully in his sleep"
