Mbah Gotho, from Sragen in central Java, was born on December 31, 1870, according to the date of birth on his identity card.

Now officials at the local record office say they have finally been able to confirm that remarkable date as genuine.

No, I wouldn't say that. 104 is pretty danged old. I hope he/ she enjoyed good health all that time.
My great aunt moved to the east coast to live with her daughter. When she got old so I never saw her again. I was told at 113 she could still climb stairs and sew.

How many packs of cigarettes does he smoke each day?

Indeed, he still smokes in several YouTube videos, but these are not in English so it's not clear how many. Unsurprisingly the US/UK press never mentions this most remarkable fact (besides his age) about him.
