Hanzem 708 Posted April 26, 2022 After Kane Tanaka's death, Irene Dunham enters the Top 10 oldest living people. She survived the Bath School Bombing of 1927, because on that day she was ill and hadn't gone to the school. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,875 Posted April 26, 2022 I'd say that Lucile seems quite strong. Not ill, of course she's been wheelchairbound for around a decade now but it doesn't seem like her health has declined a lot during the last years. Kane needed a nasal cannula at the age Lucile is now. Of course death can happen any day at her age but I'd say Lucile is in better health than Kane was at her age.

JVPM, the oldest living man, has over four years to 117 and they tend to just die more suddenly than the women, usually at 112. There's currently a group of 12 geezers born in 1910 left, of course it'll probably be six times smaller this time next year but one can only hope. There's also the 12-person 1911 cohort of men, probably one of the most interesting people from it being "Anonymous of Ireland", a 110-year-old who is the first Irish male supercentenarian, first Irish supercentenarian since 2003 and excluding emigrants, the fourth-oldest Irish person ever. And also the second-oldest man in Europe. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently this is a new? picture, looks a bit better than she did last year. Here's what Robert Young said today: If we are saying that Kane did not reach the maximum level of deterioration, I agree with that. Indeed, she was even on April 13 more functional than Fusa Tatsumi at her 115th birthday. And well, here's a new picture from Fusa Tatsumi's 115th birthday celebration, apparently yesterday: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hanzem 708 Posted April 28, 2022 She looks very frail in this new photo. At 110 she looked quite well. Here is a 23-minute video of her. https://youtu.be/Qfters16vuQ 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,078 Posted May 1, 2022 Public apology to @Hanzem and @Deadboy. I facepalmed their posts when they called Kane Tanaka the "2nd oldest person" ever. Here I was thinking, "huh, she was only the 3rd oldest person ever, so I guess they are buying into the Jeanne Calment/daughter swap conspiracy theory". Only, I completely missed that she ACTUALLY surpassed Sarah Knauss. I'm sorry.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you were just really finicky about people not using the word "verified" as I had no idea what else it could be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
