The oldest person on the planet, Brazilian nun Ina Kanabaru Lucas, has died at the age of 116, the BBC reports, citing a statement from the Carmelite nuns' order in Porto Alegre,

Brazil.

Ina Kanabaru was born on June 8, 1908, and became a nun in 1934, at the age of 26. Kanabaru became the oldest person on Earth in December 2024, after the death of Japanese Tomiko Itooka, who also lived to be 116 years old.
Currently, the title of the oldest person in the world has passed to 115-year-old Briton Ethel Caterham.
