TOKYO (AP) - The world's oldest person has died at the age of 116. Japan's Jiroemon Kimura had been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the oldest living person, the oldest living man and the oldest man ever.
He died of natural causes Wednesday.
Kimura, of Kyotango, Japan, was born April 19, 1897.
According to Guinness, Kimura was the first man in history to have lived to 116 years old. Kimura became the oldest man ever on Dec. 28, 2012, at the age of 115 years, 253 days, breaking the record set by Christian Mortensen, a Danish immigrant to the United States, whose life spanned from 1882-1998.
The title of oldest living person is now another Japanese, Misao Okawa, of Osaka. She is also the world's oldest living woman.
 
RIP, Old Japanese dude..
 
Rip

If he were here, he's probably say that he had a rong and happy rife.
 
RIP.. long lived life seen just about it all I would say
 
Wow, the history that guy lived through. Can you imagine him reaching 100 years old in 1997, and still getting another 16 years in! He lived through three different centuries.
