Has she died? Celebrated a birthday? Fallen ill? Been officially recognised? We can't all read Japanese on here so would help if you added some context to your post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,422 Posted April 28, 2018 53 minutes ago, 123jeff said: Well this was a recent update of her it as you can see, she's really healthy. In 4 days she will turn 114 (she was born exactly 3 years after chiyo miako) She became the oldest living person in Kagoshima Prefecture after Nabi Tajima died. Black natural hair, solving puzzle, look how fast she walks with a cane, still independant, etc. The report also says that she hasn't declined much from centenarian to now. Aye but it's not a recent video. The interview segment looks exactly the same as the one on her 110th birthday, and at the 110 club they're saying this might've been filmed as early as 2012. When you translate the article from the Japanese it makes reference to problems with her foot, so she probably can't walk properly any more (yes, I have been known to snoop about the 110 Club forums, shamefully). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 30, 2018 42 minutes ago, 123jeff said: I find it quite sad that even a spider can outlive some humans (example: avicii). Following this logic, should we be depressed when our dogs live for 10 or 15 years? Not all humans are lucky enough to live that long. Butterflies live for less than a year, but some human babies die within days or hours of being born. So what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,422 Posted May 1, 2018 Iso Nakamura, world's '5th oldest living person', is apparently dead. The reason I'm not saying she "has died" is because she seems to have been dead since November 23rd, yet somehow nobody outside her area noticed for 158 days. She's been mentioned here before; if you were thinking of picking her in the future then too bad, she didn't even make the 2018 starting line. It goes without saying she didn't celebrate her 115th birthday, and she was only the 71st oldest ever rather than 45th, and she was the 8th oldest living rather than 5th oldest living. Major cock-up on behalf of the the people supposed to announce her death. Her local death notice in Japanese: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no doubt that she has indeed carked it, but we'll have to wait until the GRG confirms it, still no word from them. That could take a matter of days.

Now I wonder if that number already includes Mr. Overton or not. Hughes was, according to the BBC source, the oldest person to ever fly. So it could be that Mr. Overton is now the oldest air passenger ever. Edit: By the way, the Washington Post article mentions that he got divorced in the 1920s... That's probably also some kind of record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
