An Indonesian man who claimed to be the world's oldest human at 146 years old has died, his family say.

Mbah Gotho, a great-great granddad from Central Java, outlived his four wives, 10 siblings and all of his children.

He was reportedly hospitalised on April 12, but insisted on checking out six days later so he could be taken home.

He died shortly after, having "refused" to eat or drink.

Mbah hit the headlines last year after presenting documentation showing he was born in December 1870.

I can’t help but notice that Indonesia, a third-world country, somehow has the ability to issue photo ID with thumb print to its citizens. And even the elderly (and even if he’s not 146, he does count as elderly) and ‘people of color’ are somehow able to obtain them.

“who was born in February 1869. Abraham Lincoln would have still been President then if he had not been shot.”

He would have had to win a third term. I would like to think Lincoln would not have broken the tradition of George Washington’s of only serving two terms. Lincoln was before the age of politicians who consider themselves to be indispensable.

Presidential terms used to run until March 4. FDR in 1937 was the first President inaugurated on January 20.

Thanks. I screwed up.

Can you imagine having to wait until March 4 of this year for Obama to leave?

According to the left, our homegrown elderly and POC are not that smart.

Looks like somebody I’ve seen before. This guy did heroin, and cocaine by the suitcase full, smoked marijuana by the plane load, smoked Reds, and drank a case of Jack Daniels every day.

He still plays in a rock and roll band to this day.

Keith somebody...

There’s something about the photos I don’t get. All his family appear to be Muslim, and yet a big cross is prominent at his funeral.
