World's oldest person dies aged 128
Salvadorans have buried their country's - and possibly the world's - oldest known living person.

Cruz Hernandez, who was 128, according to the government, was born on May 3 1878, according to her government-issued identity card.

Community members said she worked as a midwife for years until she turned 100, and was beloved by all in the city of San Agustin, about 60 miles east of the capital San Salvador.

Hernandez did not have a birth certificate, but the government confirmed her age in 2005 after an investigation.

If that age was accurate, Hernandez would have been the oldest living woman in the world.

According to the Gerontology Research Group at the America's UCLA School of Medicine, which documents people over 100, the longest-living person was Jeanne Calment, a French woman who was 122 when she died in 1997.

On its website the group lists the world's oldest living person as Yone Minagawa of Japan, who was 114 on January 4.

Hernandez is survived by more than 200 relatives, including children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Nearly 100 people, mostly family, attended the funeral services.

Woah! I can't believe she worked until she was 100!! And she had 200 relatives.

oh thats sad

That's sweet. My great grandma lived until she was 108

holy shit
thats a long time to live in this fucked up world, no?

That is cool.
But it would suck to keep living while watching your family die.

aww thats sweet 128 thats pretty old, she must of been rich, i mean working for 100 years 'n' all.

wow, thats a LONG time to be around =]
you go lady!♥

i would hate to be 128 or over 100 for that matter. i would like to die at 89.

WOA! Thats awesome, too bad its not positive, I wonder why she doesn't have a birth certificate?

may I ask why so specific 89?

wow.
that could be good in some ways.
to see how the world has changed but idk if i would want to live that long.
i would be lucky to make it to 30.

well either that or 93. sounds like a good dying age.

Wow! 128! she has been with half our presidents! (I think)

i wonder if she had sex past 1oo years =/

R.I.P. Thats all I can say.....

Holy crap, she was old. But this might be better suited on the discussion of the oldest person alive.... I could be wrong though.

Christ that is old....i would just stop wanting to live at that point.

yeah thats what i'm thinking too.

oh wow!! Amazing..
But japan has more than 28,000 + people living more than 100 years old

so what who cares?!!
she was going to die any-way!

My great grandfather's 102 this year and he's still pretty much a healthy old man. I mean, he's walking fine and he still has the strength to bicker with the maid...
I reckon he's still got a few more decades left in him.

Woah.. My great grands are all in heaven right now. Died a few years back. At around 90

My great grandmother died last week due to kidney failure because she refused treatment. She was 93.

Wow that's really cool!

wow that's old. not always that great though, you see family and friends die who don't get that old as you...

Wow, 128!!

How lovely!

i don't wanna live THAT long
i'd jump off a bridge when i'm 78
