The world’s oldest living person, Portuguese national Maria de Jesus, died today at the age of 115.
Born September 10, 1893, Maria de Jesus became the world’s oldest living person after the death of American Edna Parker on November 26, also aged 115.
A family member said that de Jesus died “just after 10:00 am (GMT) while en route to hospital.
She never “fell ill, nor took any medication,” her daughter Maria Madalena said.
Now, American Gertrude Baines, born April 6, 1894, becomes the world’s oldest person, according to the Gerontology Research Group.
The Los Angeles-based organisation keeps a database of people worldwide who are more than 110 years old.
