Beloved “Lola” Francisca Susano, who is believed to be the “oldest person in the world” and the last woman alive to be born in the 1800s, died at the age of 124.
The Filipino supercentenarian’s passing was confirmed by state officials in her home province of Kabankalan, Negros Occidental.
Local health officials have yet to determine Susano’s cause of the death, but the super senior will reportedly be tested for COVID-19, CNN reported. Fortunately, city information officers reported that she didn’t exhibit any symptoms of the coronavirus before her death.
Born in September 1897 — a year before Spain ceded control of the Philippines to the US — Susano was reportedly the world’s last surviving person to be born in the 19th century.
