The current holder of the title of oldest person ever was 123, and even that age is well beyond the current oldest person person at 116.

I'm skeptical that they'll be able to independently verify an age of 145, but we'll see.

His quality of life has deteriorated. I'm sure he wouldn't feel that way if he were in better shape.

"For the past three months he has needed to bathed and spoon-fed, and is becoming increasingly frail"
