Yesterday the Spanish supercentenarian María Branyas Morera passed away. Since 2023 María Branyas had been the oldest living person on Earth whose date of birth is documented. At the time of her death she was 117 years and 169 days old. Señora Morera was born in San Francisco, California, on 4 March 1907, before her family returned to Spain.

The next oldest person on Earth is now the Japanese woman Tomiko Itooka, who is 116 years old.
