How long do elves live?

In lord of the rings, which most of this logic has been taken from, elves can live forever
However, Frieren’s teacher died of old age which implies that in this world, elves eventually die, just after several thousand years

They say in the anime that elves have a lifespan of around 1000 years. But we know Frieren has lived longer than that, and we also know there are elves way older than her.

So what's the deal? Do they not have an average lifespan? Or only die in battle?

frierens teacher wasnt an elf. though i do also assume it isnt the same as lord of the rings considering that the elves are going extinct.

I think FOURTEEN THOUSAND YEARS(14,000 Years).
I'm not sure but this number struck my mind after reading the Subject of this discussion.

interesting fact about the elves in lotr is that they are also going extinct so it actually does match up pretty well with frieren lore

I haven't read the manga but the way it looks to me is that they live until they are killed. I would be surprised if elves can die of old age in the Frieren universe.
