gcreptile 11,074 Posted April 6, 2022 In spite of his high age, rather unexpected. But then at that age, anything can happen. Sad. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,137 Posted April 6, 2022 I've read his daughter died some days ago. If so Stanislaw probably died of a broken heart. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At such ages, mental is a key factor of longevity and if his daughter just died, maybe he let himself slip away 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw an episode of Steptoe and Son once in which old Albert successfully went the full drag to pose as his dead wife and ensure he could collect her pension too. I found it very convincing. Though - thinking about it - Calman's daughter posing as her dead mum maybe has sitcom gold written all over it. I'd approach Channel 4, if they had a future!

TQR 14,455 Posted April 7, 2022 Great news for Kane, bless her. Also, she’s 1,164 days away from surpassing the record of Jeanne Calment (14th June 2025). I’m gonna make an advent calendar. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,868 Posted April 8, 2022 Casilda Benegas is 115 today. Here's a new article: https://www.lacapitalmdp.com/casilda-benegas-cumple-115-anos-y-es-la-mas-longeva-de-la-argentina/amp/ She apparently eats a lot of sweets, "catches a cold every once in a while but always recovers" and doesn't take medicine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,868 Posted April 9, 2022 As it's past midnight in Japan, I think we can almost say that Kane Tanaka has surpassed Sarah Knauss. Tanaka and Randon seem to be the "Calment and Knauss of the 2020s", no matter what age they'll reach, they're major outliers. Interesting times, half of the four oldest people ever currently living. Male supercentenarians haven't done that well recently - it's been over a decade* since the last time a male supercentenarian reached 114. There was a large group of men born in 1909 at the start of last year, now there's two. Could be that male supercentenarians in many cases decline faster or die more "suddenly" around 111 and 112 with some exceptions. Might take a long time for a man to reach 117 *Jiroemon Kimura, 19th of April 2011: Not counting Gustav Gerneth who seems to be disputed now because his family never sent the GRG documents that would've verified his age. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kane Tanaka "confirmed alive" at 119y and 98 days by this twitter account owned by her family, now the second-oldest person ever. No new pictures which is usually always a bad sign, but still wants to live to 120. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,536 Posted April 10, 2022 I know it's become a bit of a meme on here the past week, but someone actually passing Sarah Knauss's seemingly unsurpassable longevity spot for 2nd place is... quite exciting tbh. It's not "Oh look someone is now in the top 20 oldest in the world" train spotting, it's the top 2 verified spots of all time, which have stood untouchable since I was barely a teen. Tanaka (and to be fair, Lucille Randon too, though she has a bit of catching up to do) are considerable outliers and you may not see someone catch their "records" for another 20-25 years. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,043 Posted April 10, 2022 Whatever the records are in a field as I take active interest in it, feels all the more "canonical", almost as if they were always the records. Like how I didn't start watching Jeopardy until years after the Ken Jennings run. I took an active interest in the world's oldest people in 2006, so it really is surreal to see Knauss finally overtaken. All the moreso given IIRC in the early 2010s the world's oldest people weren't even getting to 115! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Planetist 131 Posted April 11, 2022 With these super old people, I'm always interested in who were alive at the same time as them. Looking at wikipedia I noticed that Alois Hitler (Adolf's daddy) died a day after Kane Tanaka was born! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they are even now fully comparable with Calment and Knauss. I mean, Kane Tanaka has almost exactly the same age with Sarah Knauss, while she is more than 3 years younger than Calment. So she is not (for now) the "Calment of 2020s", and probably not even "Knauss of 2020s", if you compare ages of the top 10 oldest in 1999 vs ages of the top 10 oldest in 2022, life expectancy in 1999 vs life expectancy in 2022 etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaDeathGuy 202 Posted April 11, 2022 I hope she doesn't pass right after this milestone. If she lives to at least 119 1/2, I think that would be good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably three, as Koko Hume Lepota apparently hasn't been confirmed alive during the last three years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
