Hint: Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the founder of Sikhism . He was the first out of the 10 Sikh Gurus. And he died at the age of 70 in Kartarpur.

 Step by step answer:
He was born to a Hindu family in Nankana sahib, Pakistan. His father Kalyan Chand Das Bedi and his mother Mata Tripta were Khatri. His father worked as a patwari, that is, a local accountant .he maintained the accounts of crop revenue in the village of Talwandi.
Once, he went for a bath in a river and didn’t come back for three days. His family members were scared and hence assumed that he had drowned and died. When he returned back, he was an enlightened soul and told everyone about his visit to heaven and his meeting with god. He had also realized that all the gods are one and the same.
He wrote about his teachings of equality, fraternity and virtue in a book name ‘Guru Granth Sahib’. At the time of this death, it is said that his body had vanished.

Note: He would discuss with Hindu and Muslim hermits about their religion while looking after his cattle. There was a time when Nanak Sahib had to perform a Hindu ritual of accepting the sacred thread from the priest.
