Only about 5% of supercentenarians are eventually confirmed alive after gaining this status. Clara Anderson died in 2016 aged 111. No source yet as the GRG tables haven't been updated.

Alelia's alive!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,422 Posted July 25, 2018 Chiyo Miyako has somehow gone into Limbo... Kane Tanaka, 115, is the interim World's Oldest Person while people figure out what the hell happened. Also Nabi Tajima's age is now disputed, meaning she might not have been the oldest person after all. Plot twist! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even in the super small chance Nabi's age is wrong, it's probably just + or - 1 year (but I highly doubt it) Plot twist: Nabi was actually one year older? Ages have gone up after a dispute before... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 26, 2018 One of the oldest living relatives of the founder of Tigard (OR) had passed away. Curtis Tigard was born in 1909 and lived to the age of 109. Tigard was a World War II veteran and graduate of Oregon Agricultural College, now known as Oregon State University. Tigard was known as East Butte until the late 1800s, when renamed Tigardville after the postmaster, who was also Curtis’s dad. The name was later shortened to Tigard so the railroad wouldn’t confuse it with Wilsonville. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,970 Posted July 28, 2018 A bit sad that "we" (as in mankind) have regressed to 115 when it comes to the age barrier. But I also believe that Tanaka is going to be around for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, this video was from yesterday and the video of the ill-fated Mrs Yonekura was from 2012. I think a lot of people have a dodgy video from 2012 which doesn't really represent them any more.

robwell 2 Posted July 29, 2018 21 hours ago, runebomme said: it's called being senile Actually, Kane Tanaka is pretty much the opposite of senile. Based from the recent videos, she's a very funny person who loves to make jokes. She can still walk, stand, eat by herself, see, do math, play games, etc. She seems to be fully mentally intact. Very impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robwell 2 Posted July 29, 2018 A thought to ponder: I do believe that Violet Brown, if she hadn't been caught in the family feud, would still be alive today at age 118+ and would have eclipsed Ana Vela Rubio, Nabi Tajima, Giuseppina Projetto and Chiyo Miyako. Nabi and Chiyo probably would never have become the WOP's. But this never happened, and now the WOP age is back down to 115. However, Kane is very strong and it's very impressive that she can do the things she does at 115+! With any luck, I hope she can stay with us for a couple more months/years and bring the WOP age back to 117 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
