Annotation:

"heart-throb" (informal) means a man, typically a celebrity, whose good looks excite romantic feelings in women.

I would say "has died at the age of 83."

However, the way it is now perhaps would be a headline, possibly with a comma before "aged."
I'm not sure about the comma.

As an example sentence, I would probably change "has died" to "died" to "future-proof" the example. However, there's nothing wrong with "has died." It just makes it sound like it's in the recent past.

>it's in the recent past.

I just heard it on the news, so it just happened.

I take your points re future-proofing etc. Changes made as suggested.
