A Japanese woman believed to be the oldest person in the world has died, aged 116.

Born in 1887, Kamato Hongo was recognised as the world's oldest living person by the Guinness Book of Records after an American woman - Maude Farris-Luse - died last March at the age of 115.

Hongo was famous throughout Japan for her habit of sleeping for two days and then staying awake for two days.

Rest in Peace Hongo-san :karma:

Are they sure she wasn't just sleeping?

... Rest in Peace Hongo-san

Amen

But I noticed this too:

The same island also produced the Japanese record-holder for longevity, a man who died at the age of 120.

Mmmm ... that raises many theories ... but
could it be Fantasy Island?
