If you calculate the ages prior to the flood, you will see that he did not. At 969, the old boy lived long enough. Some reported ages in the Hebrew Scriptures are not meant to be taken literally.

Who was the oldest to live before Jesus Christ?
Methuselah. He lived for 969 years. He died in the same year of the great flood of Noah's time.
Was King David from the line of Methuselah?
No. Methuselah was Noah's grandfather who died the same year of the flood, but before the flood came. Since everyone else on Earth descended from Noah, who descended from Methuselah, technically, King David was from the line of Methuselah.However, the Bible considers all righteous ancestors of the line of King David as beginning with Noah, after the Earth was cleansed by the Flood.If Methuselah was Noah's grandfather and from the great flood it was only Noah, his wife, and their 3 sons and their families that survived, then yes, David would be from the line of Methuselah.
How old was NOAH when the flood stop?
According to Genesis, 601. This is at least internally consistent with the flood occurring after the death of Methuselah, as if you add up the reported ages of Methuselah when his son Lamech was born and Lamech when his son Noah was born, you come up with Methuselah being about 369 when Noah was born. Methuselah reportedly died at 969, meaning Noah would have been about 600 at the time.
Do people live past 120 years according to the Bible?
I believe they do. Methuselah was 969 years old when he died. (Genesis 5:27)
Did the flood kill Methuselah?
No. Tradition states that the righteous Metushelach died one week before the Flood (Talmud, Sanhedrin 108). See also:Evidence of the Flood
Was Methuselah alive during destruction?
Reading the bible literally, Noah's grandfather, Methuselah lived 969 years and died exactly the same year as the Flood. It would seem an unlikely coincidence, almost 1 in 969 for simplicity, that Methuselah died from an unrelated cause in exactly the same year as the Flood, so it should be assumed that he was one of those whom God intended to destroy.

Did Methuselah die in the flood?
Tradition states that Methusaleh died seven days before the Flood (Rashi commentary, Genesis 7:4).Answer 2Did Methuselah Die During the Global Flood? by Brad Harrub, Ph.D.In Genesis chapter 5, Moses recorded the genealogy of Adam. The name that commonly stands out in that list is Methuselah. Methuselah is the oldest person recorded in Scripture, and his name is often used today when referring to something or someone very old. In verse 21 of that chapter, we learn that Methuselah was the son of Enoch. We are then informed: Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died. Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years and had a son (vss. 25-28). Lamech's son was Noah. The Bible records in Genesis 7:6 that Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters were on the Earth. In light of this information, we can take the age of Methuselah when Lamech was born (187), add to that Lamech's age when he begot Noah (182) and the age of Noah when the floodwaters came (600), and determine that Methuselah was 969 years old the year the Flood occurred [187+182+600=969]. Since Genesis 5:27 indicates this was the age at which Methuselah died, it is logical to conclude that he died the year of the Flood. However, the Bible does not indicate that he died as a result of the Flood. [Remember, his father was Enoch, one of a select few who walked with God and was taken directly by God, not experiencing death. Thus, Methuselah's father was a very righteous man, who undoubtedly set a proper example for his son.] While the exact meaning of Methuselah's name is unknown, many scholars have suggested that it means: "When he dies, it shall be sent," implying that the Flood would result when Methuselah died (Morris, 1976, p. 160). But, here again, we cannot be certain and should not be dogmatic.
Where in Genesis is Methuselah found?
Gen 5:25-27"When Methuselah had lived 187 years he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died."He lived to be the oldest person on earth's record, he died sometime before the flood. His father was Enoch. His son, Lamech, went on to be the father of Noah.
