i want to see what the gently caress that person's life is like

The original manga/anime seems to be going to great pains to avoid addressing who the original body is outside of being A: the most unlucky person in existence (there's some real messed-up stuff that happens even in the original), and B: Someone actually attempting to take care of themselves (the working environment is pretty decent and there aren't any major issues outside of injuries/afflictions).

The Black body, in comparison, seems to be pretty clearly a middle-aged dude, an overworked overweight depressed drinker/smoker who's done some pretty questionable stuff to himself and has some seriously nasty afflictions.

They've said the body's immune system is compromised, too, so that could also point at a variety of factors.
The two most obvious being AIDS, which would be pretty dark for an edutainment show, and old age.
