“Never Been in Hospital” – World’s Oldest Person Dies at 117

Date:

According to the Guinness Book, the oldest person in the world, Spanish María Branyas, has died at the age of 117. “She died as she wanted: in her sleep, peacefully and without pain,” her family said Tuesday in the online service X.

The family had previously published a farewell message on behalf of the 117-year-old: “The time is near. Don’t cry, I don’t like tears. And most importantly, don’t suffer because of me. Wherever I go, I will be happy.”

Branyas had been listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest person in the world for over a year and a half. She was born on March 4, 1907 in San Francisco, USA, and the family moved to Spain in 1915. The great-grandmother had lived in a retirement home in Olot, in northeastern Spain, for about twenty years.

The Spaniard also survived the corona infection
Branyas’ daughter attributed her mother’s longevity to good genes in an interview last year. “She was never in hospital and she never broke a bone,” she said on Spanish television. At the age of 113, Branyas safely survived a coronavirus infection.

With Branyas’ death, American gerontologists say 116-year-old Japanese woman Tomiko Itoooka is now the world’s oldest living person.
