ONCE the world's oldest person, Japanese woman Kama Chinen has died a week before her 115th birthday, a spokeswoman said yesterday.
Kama Chinen died on the southern island of Okinawa on Sunday, according to Kaoru Shijima, a spokeswoman at her care facility.
Petite and gray-haired, Chinen spent her final years at a care center in Nanjo on southeastern Okinawa. She was born on May 10, 1895, according to the Gerontology Research Group, which tracks extremely old people.
Chinen became the world's oldest person when Gertrude Baines died in Los Angeles at age 115 in September.
The oldest human is now 114-year-old Eugenie Blanchard, a French woman born on February 16, 1896, according to the research group.
The group has validated 75 "supercentenarians" worldwide who are at least 110 years old.
