What is the average life span age of someone with epilepsy that is uncontrolled?

Epilepsy is not fatal in its own right. Someone could die if they get a seizure in the wrong circumstances, such as driving a car or taking part in some dangerous activity. Obviously someone with uncontrolled Epilepsy should not be taking part in dangerous activities without medical advice or supervision. It is those kind of factors that have to be taken into consideration. Even if someone has uncontrolled epilepsy, they could live a long time. Someone with well controlled Epilepsy could have a seizure in a dangerous situation too. So there is no real definitive answer to your question.
