RIP Yasue Okai and Kimiko Ono. Kimiko Ono seemed to be in good shape however Fusa Tatsumi outlived her. Fusa could be a new Nabi Tajima as she continues to defy expectations.

When you made this post she was still 115 years and 300 days (19 Feb 2023-Japan time).

Fusa Tatsumi has reached the age of 115 years and 300 days.

It is a new organization of global supercentenarian validation founded by the founder of 110 club and Young to speed up validations. Some researchers from organizations allied with Longeviquest seem to be angry with GRG suddenly announcing validations of many people validated by Longeviquest and accuse it credited the validation of the WOLM to another person. The founder of the 110 club and Longeviquest made a statement that Young "has been terminated as President of LongeviQuest" and "has also been removed as a Global Validation Commissioner and will no longer be permitted access to research produced by, or submitted to, LongeviQuest". Sad to see all this infighting.

Edie Ceccarelli turned 115.

Juan Vicente Perez Mora became the 12th oldest validated man. He surpassed the age of John McMorran (113 years and 250 days).

RIP Lucile Randon (1904-2023).

There is also Ushi Makishi, oldest living person in Okinawa after Matsu Gaja's death. Her birthdate was revealed today as she was validated (15 February 1909).

Randon has now reached the age of 118 years and 11 months She is getting very close to 119.

After Hendrick's death, new oldest living person in USA is Edie Ceccarelli. She seems physically well, and she could still walk with a walker at 114, but she has dementia

I wouldn't be surprised if Morera reaches 2024. For Randon and Tatsumi is indeed very difficult to reach it but who knows?

Young noted that Bessie Hendricks “appeared to be physically OK” until she contracted COVID-19 just days ago. Hendricks he said, “may be the oldest person to die from COVID.” https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/her-next-birthday-cake-will-have-115-candles-making-her-the-oldest-living/

Fusa Tatsumi looks extremely frail for more than 2 years now. In this period many supercentenarians in top ranks, seemingly in better condition, have died, but she keeps going. She reminds me of Nabi Tajima.

RIP Bessie Hendricks. December and January are bad months for supercentenarians.

She looks better than Kane Tanaka did at the same age. There is a good chance she will see 119.

Current TOP 10 1) Lucile Randon 118:316 2) Maria Branyas Morera 115:295 3) Fusa Tatsumi 115:243 4) Bessie Hendricks 115:047 5) Eddie Ceccarelli 114:322 6) Kahoru Furuya 114:309 7) Tomiko Itooka 114:215 8) Inah Canabarro Lucas 114:199 9) Hazel Plummer 114:188  10) Kimiko Ono 114:187

Juliette Bildé dead at the age of 113. Lucile Randon is now the last known living French born in the 1900s.

Hide Hamabe, sixth-oldest validated living person in Japan, turned 114.

Elise Tavan (born 16 April 1909) died on 7 November aged 113 years, 205 days in France. Her case was unknown before her death.

Juan Vicente Perez Mora has surpassed the age of Masazo Nonaka (113 years, 179 days) He is the 13th oldest validated man ever and the oldest living man since 2017 (Israel Kristal's death).

Yasue Okai has now turned 114. Happy birthday!

The van Gogh story is most probably imaginary, even if she indeed was Jeanne. Actually it seems that in these interviews she had made many "mistakes" speaking for things from Yvonne's point of view and not Jeanne's.

Actually, they have said that after research they accept Knauss' age, but they think that all the top cases should be rechecked.

Two researchers wrote a book containing new evidence that Jeanne Calment actually died in 1934 and her daughter Yvonne pretended to be Jeanne. They claim that after 15 hours of Calment video recordings were made public there is now enough evidence to debunk her. If Jeanne Calment is debunked Kane Tanaka could hold the title of oldest person ever. However, the same researchers say that she could potentially be a case of exaggerated age due to identity switch too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BKV2MF6Z/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=&linkCode=w00&linkId=&creativeASIN=B0BKV2MF6Z https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/calmentvalidation/viewtopic.php?p=112#p112
