To find out how old Columbus was when he died, you subtract his birth year from his death year. So, 1506 - 1451 = 55. Columbus was 55 years old when he died.

To determine how many years ago he died, you subtract the current year from his death year. Since the current year is 2021, you subtract 1506 from 2021. So, 2021 - 1506 = 515. Columbus died 515 years ago.

Please note that these calculations are based on the given birth year and death year for Columbus, and may not correspond exactly to historical records due to potential inconsistencies or variations in dating methods across different sources.
