jofish says aged 80 but http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/b l_morse_timeline1.htm
says:

1872 - On April 2, Samuel Morse dies in New York City at eighty-one years of age. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn

Since he was born on April 17th 1791, that makes him jut 15 days short of his 82nd birthday.
