Kane Tanaka, a Japanese woman believed to have been the world’s oldest person, has died aged 119.
She was born in the Fukuoka region on January 2, 1903 — the same year the Wright brothers flew for the first time and Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
She was confirmed as the world’s oldest living person by Guinness World Records in 2019.
Japan has an ageing population with about 28 percent of people aged 65 or more.
With Tanaka’s death, Lucile Randon, a French nun better known as Sister Andre, becomes the world’s oldest known person.
