Mbah Gotho, from Indonesia, was said to have documentation that showed he was born in 1870 thereby 146 years old as of his time of death. A lifelong heavy smoker, Sodimedjo - as he was also known - was taken to hospital last month for an undisclosed health complaint. He discharged himself six days later and ate only porridge until he died a few days later, his grandson Suyanto told the BBC.
Mr Gotho’s claim to be the world’s oldest human hit the headlines last summer when officials at the local record office in his home town of Sragen, Central Java, said they had been able to verify his age.He told reporters at the time that he began preparing for his death in 1992, including having a gravestone made: “What I want is to die.”
Praying we all live long to see such golden years in good health and prosperity.
