I dunno, some people just go grey/white very fast. It's not unusual. His face doesn't look as old though so it's just the hair that makes him look older imo.

Just stay calm and stay where you are. The men in the black helicopters will take good care of you. Unless you are also a Mary Sue in which case you'll go all ninja on them and be on the run until you find a place everyone loves you.
Is it cold in here?:

I bet he's led an unhealthful lifestyle in terms of sleep and diet.
Out of random curiosity, the UK spelling is "ageing", with "aging" being the correct one for the US. Is this a case where Australia uses the US variant?
Hannersibs: we know she's Beatrice's only child, but half-siblings are still possible though their existence would require Dr. Ellicott to have succeeded in reproducing with two different women.
pwhodges:
Both Chambers and Oxford dictionaries give ageing and aging equal status, without comment. There is a similar misconception over -ise and -ize. Lotus Ami Pro word-processor offered two British English spell-check dictionaries to cover that one. I rather suspect that the use of ossified spell-checking may be forcing a change in words like ageing/aging - "the computer must be right", you know. At least one of my programs has an incorrect British spell checker that is convinced that words like traveller are wrong.

I confess having thought about writing a piece of fan-fic based on the revelation that Clinton is an illegitimate lovechild of Dr. Ellicott and Dr. Susan Calvin, currently a professor of robotics at UMass, and formerly Beatrice's roommate from college.
Then I realised that 1) I'm not enough of a writer to pull that off, 2) it would quickly become creepy.
