I can't see a reason why people won't be living close to forever (minus freak accidents, natural disasters etc).

They're getting close to preventing aging and all diseases will probably be cured or prevented eventually. Stem cell research will probably be able to replace organs. Nanobots may be able to rebuild the body as damage occurs, so technically in 1000 years we probably won't even be "humans" anymore once we merge with our technology. That is, if humanity survives that long (which it most likely will)
