There are various verses in the Pali suttas that give the impression arahants not experience aging & death, as follows:
> *Then, monks, being subject myself to aging... death... seeking the aging-less, deathless... unexcelled rest from the yoke, Unbinding, I
> reached the aging-less... deathless... unexcelled rest from the yoke:
> Unbinding. MN 26*
_______________________________
> *A sage at peace is not born, does not age, does not die, is unagitated, and is free from longing. He has nothing whereby he would
> be born. Not being born, will he age? Not aging, will he die? Not
> dying, will he be agitated? Not being agitated, for what will he long?
> It was in reference to this that it was said, 'He has been stilled
> where the currents of construing do not flow. And when the currents of
> construing do not flow, he is said to be a sage at peace.' MN 140*
_____________________________________________
> *21. Heedfulness is the path to the Deathless. Heedlessness is the path to death. The heedful die not. The heedless are as if dead
> already. Dhammapada*
