Because your question just says “how old is pat murphy” , it’s ambiguous which Pat Murphy you’re asking about. If you tell me whether you mean the science‑fiction writer, the Canadian politician from Prince Edward Island, or the historical baseball player (or someone else entirely, like a coach or a local figure), I can give a precise age or clarify their status more directly.
