How old was St Thomas when he died?
As cited in John 20:28, he later proclaimed Jesus as “My Lord and my God” upon his resurrection. He spent the following years travelling and spreading the gospel. St. Thomas died on December 21, 72 in Mylapore, India.Apr 2, 2014
There’s tha India connection.

Wikipedia link, looks like Ephesus. He was the Bishop of Ephesus. At 80 yo tried to stop pagan march for Diana by preaching gospel and was taken and stoned to death…
Sounds reasonable.

] In the year 64, Paul left Timothy at Ephesus, to govern that church.[10]
His relationship with Paul was close and Paul entrusted him with missions of great importance. Timothy’s name appears as the co-author on 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, and Philemon. Paul wrote to the Philippians about Timothy, “I have no one like him” (Philippians 2:19–23). When Paul was in prison and awaiting martyrdom, he summoned his faithful friend Timothy for a last farewell.[9]
That Timothy was jailed at least once during the period of the writing of the New Testament is implied by the writer of Hebrews mentioning Timothy’s release at the end of the epistle.
The apocryphal Acts of Timothy states that in the year 97, the 80-year-old bishop tried to halt a procession in honor of the goddess Diana by preaching the gospel. The angry pagans beat him, dragged him through the streets, and stoned him to death.[9]
Now, same site said death in Macedonia at 79/80.
If Bishop of Ephesus, it seems probable stoning was in Ephesus.
