She indeed was but the thing is, at that age, you can look healthier than ever and drop dead from a cold the next day... sad, RIP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway I think almost all of them will live past 110, and someone (cough cough Fauja Singh) past 115. Here they are: *Stanislaw Kowalski (1910), oldest man in Poland too *Hidekichi Miyazaki (1910), known as the Golden Bolt. *Fauja Singh (1911), the Sikh Tornado. *Robert Marchand (1911), cyclist and commie. *Mieko Nagaoka (1914) Japanese swimmer *Ida Keeling (1915) *Donald Pellmann (1915) broke Miyazaki's records *Giuseppe Ottaviani (1916) *Frederico Fischer (1917) current champ *Ugo Sansonetti (1919) manager and athlete Though they all seem ridicolous while doing their activities, I swear there is a good possibility at least one of these ten lives past 120.

I just found that registration from INSEE institute, a reliable source because it’s the french institute of survey and a government’s institute. Does anyone have any clue about him ? Bobigny City Hall have no death record for this person. Robert Young explains here that the case is likely a disappeared person scenario whereby the person has been officially declared dead. Supposedly not all that rare. There's a list of other such cases here. So likely the individual in question died years ago. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What annoys me is that some people, including Dr. Young, tend to invalidate any new submission saying « it’s impossible that someone can approach those age without being known ». They invalidate any submission without looking for proof but rather prefer to close the case from the very beginning. I’m however 100% sure that at least 1 one of those supercentenarians people could be validated if we had took the time to... probably not the case of Paul Roger Henry though but this perpetual sceptisism is annoying 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hanzem 708 Posted September 2, 2021 After Dos Santos became oldest ever third oldest living person (surpassing previous record of Sarah Knauss - 116 years and 314 days), now Lucile Randon ties with Sarah Knauss' record of oldest ever second oldest living person at the age of 117 years and 204 days. It took nearly 25 years but finally both Sarah Knauss' records were broken. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
