The world's oldest person, a 114-year-old woman, has died in Brazil.
Born in 1896, Maria Gomes Valentim, of Carangola, was just 18 days away from her 115th birthday.
She was declared the oldest living person by the Guinness World Records only last month, beating Besse Cooper of Georgia, in the United States.
