I like your idea of being pressed to death by upset neighbors - change the name, and edit the age comments a bit, and it's a lot more plausible (and makes a better story, including the fact that bones would likely have been better preserved.) Would have solved the timing problem, too.
The age bit still bugs me, though, because Reichs should know better: even if she's mostly used to working out of North Carolina and Quebec, she certainly knows better than to confuse life-expectancy-at-birth with "My, you're over 40, you're ancient!"
