Misao Okawa, the world’s oldest person, died Wednesday, a few weeks after celebrating her 117th birthday. A 116-year-old American woman, Gertrude Weaver of Arkansas, is now the world’s oldest person, according to the Gerontology Research Group in Los Angeles. Ms. Okawa, born in Osaka on March 5, 1898, was recognized as the world’s oldest person by Guinness World Records in 2013. Ms. Okawa, above, said at her recent birthday celebration that her life seemed rather short. Asked then for the secret of her longevity, she said, “I wonder about that too.”
