Fingolfin that is an interesting observance

I know that he means that there was no longer in Middle Earth any elves from the first age when Celeborn left. But, yes, what about Treebeard and Tom?
Maybe this relates to the elves really being the only recorders who recorded what was going on all over Middle Earth in the first age. Treebeard and Tom never really wrote anything down, they were really only concered about what was going on directly around them, and I think that they wouldn't really care to ever write anything down. I highly doubt that they died. Especially because I don't exactly see how Tom in particular could die? Treebeard, yeah, probably has more of a chance because he actually ages. But Tom, does he even age?
