What a let-down, then, that the power turned out to be you can live forever if you just stay inside this tiny room of a cave in the middle of nowhere.
Since that "rule" was never stated, I prefer to think that Indiana Jones cannot be hurt or killed except by extraordinary means, and so he can survive a nuclear flying refrigerator ride. But, er, since he crossed the seal ... he ages at an alarming rate. By the 70's, he will be a living skeleton.
They don't say how Professor Henry Sr. died, so I'll just imagine he was shot through the heart with a cannon ball at close range and thus could not survive even though equally immortal. Just to be sure, they cremated his remains.
