Riddled with mistakes throughout it. I expect nothing less from The Sun and their gutter journalism. It says John Tinniswood, 109, is the UK's oldest person. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's declined really fastly during the last two months (especially during the last weeks), went from being able to stand properly to a wheelchair in september/october and now seems to be bedbound "spending his last days" home with his family.

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. I’ve just contacted the city hall of Bobigny to have more information which I hadn’t because I didn’t dare to. I wait for further explanation. I won’t let go till I’m certain he died years ago. Yes, I’m a bit obsessed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted December 13, 2021 Just found this video about Jean Teillet, oldest man alive in the 1970’s who died in 1977 at 110. He is 108 in this video but looks and sounds like a 80yo man. Incredible, a must watch, even if you don’t understand french 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's one of the seven (less or more) living men born before 1910 with: Saturnino de la Fuente Garcia (11 Feb 1909-) Spain Ivo Gomes Barbosa (15 May 1909-) Brazil Juan Vicente Perez Mora (27 May 1909-) Venezuela Marcel Meys (12 July 1909-15 Dec 2021) France Geraldo de Jesus (2 Aug 1909-) Brazil Lawrence Brooks (12 Sept 1909-) United States and Venturotti, all 112. Geraldo de Jesus is bedridden but lucid, Saturnino is in a wheelchair. The others seem to still be able to stand, Brooks could stand on his 112th without any aid. Updated for the death of Marcel Meys. Apparently died from covid. Not sure if Ivo Gomes Barbosa is still alive, there hasn't been anything on him for a while. Lawrence Brooks made a miracle recovery from his unknown illness in November (he was said to have "days to live") and has now said that he wants to make it to 113. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hanzem 708 Posted December 17, 2021 There have been 31 consecutive World's Oldest Living Persons from 1999 to 2021 who failed to make it to 118. If both Tanaka and Randon are still living on February 11, we'll have a person aged 118 who's not even the WOP 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say remove around 1012 years and you'd get a more realistic age. Maria Lucimar Pereira who claims to be 130. Remove around 50 years to get the actual number? Alimihan Seyiti who claims to be 134. Doesn't look a day over 100. Stephen Wright who claimed to be 119 but is apparently "only 108". If that is how old he actually is. Also confirmed supercentenarian Julio Cesar Mora died three days ago aged 110. Was known for his and his wife's combined age of 215. Well, Alimihan Seyiti dead at 135. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hanzem 708 Posted December 17, 2021 After Irene Dunham's 114th birthday there are 16 validated living 114+-year-olds, a new record. Also, Yoshi Otsunari turned 115, so there are two 115+ people (Tanaka and Otsunari) in the same Japanese prefecture (Fukuoka). Tanaka and Otsunari are oldest validated people ever in Fukuoka. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,754 Posted January 1, 2022 Here's the post from Young, 31st of December: And to be direct, I'll put it this way: two of the world's top three are receiving treatment beyond normal daily medical care. You can figure out what that means. End of a small era when it happens. I hope Tanaka makes it to 119, getting to the age Knauss was doesn't seem very likely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
