The public records show she was born in 1917. I think gerontologists everywhere are scratching their head and wondering why the media have fallen for this without verifying her claims first.

Not that the media care about the truth of course, they just want a story.

Wikipedia still has him as alive.  Are we really sure he is dead? I can't find anything substantial.

A maths blog was the original source, not Wikipedia. Likely true, it just can't be used as a source on Wikipedia because it isn't considered reliable many of the editors there live in the Stone Age. [citation needed]

Leonidas appears to have died off everyones radar - I did a check on 1916 names when Erdman died and he was still "alive" in the usual suspects!
