Post by jamesbond »

Susannah Mushatt Jones, the world's oldest person, has died at the age of 116 years, 311 days.

The supercentenarian died at 8:26 p.m. Thursday evening at her senior home in Brooklyn, the Gerontology Research Group’s Robert Young told the Daily News.

She was the last known American to have been born in the 1800s, and there is currently only one more person in the world verified as having taken breath in the 19th century.

The Guinness Book of World Records, said that the oldest person is now Emma Morano-Martinuzzi, an Italian born on Nov. 29, 1899.

Yeah, getting electricity and antibiotics must have sucked. Much better to live in the darkness and die of pneumonia.
