World's oldest person dies at 115
Edna Parker, who became the world’s oldest person more than a year ago, has died in the US at the age of 115.
UCLA gerontologist Dr Stephen Coles said Mrs Parker’s great-nephew told him she died on Wednesday in a nursing home in Shelbyville, Indiana. She was 115 years, 220 days old, said Robert Young, a senior consultant for gerontology for Guinness World Records.
