The world’s oldest person, a Brazilian nun named Inah Lucas, has died at the age of 116, barely months after assuming the global title.

Her death was confirmed on Wednesday by her religious order and longevity researchers.

Lucas passed away in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where the Congregation of Teresian Sisters expressed gratitude “for the dedication and devotion” she had shown throughout her life of service.

Her remarkable life drew attention from longevity experts and religious communities alike.

In a tribute, LongeviQuest described her as a frail child at birth, “Many doubted she would survive.”

Despite those early odds, Canabarro lived for over a century, often attributing her long life to her faith.

While Canabarro had personally claimed her birthdate as May 27, 1908, researchers say otherwise.

Her documented birth date according to records is June 8, 1908,” Gerontological Research Group director Robert Young stated in January.

LongeviQuest noted that she ranks as the 15th-oldest documented person in human history and the second-oldest nun ever recorded, after Lucile Randon of France, who lived to 118 and died in 2023.

With her passing, the title of world’s oldest living person now goes to Ethel Caterham, a 115-year-old resident of Surrey, England, according to the US-based GRG and the LongeviQuest database.

One resident told CP24 that the child was regularly seen playing around the premises.

She used to come here all the time and play… she was a lively kid. It’s very, very sad,” the neighbour said.

Another resident said the news had been devastating for people living in the building, adding that the girl was a familiar face during daily routines such as school runs.

It’s crazy that I will never see this child again. I see her every morning. It’s heartbreaking,” the resident said.

According to neighbours, the girl had been staying with a family friend who lives on the top floor of the building while her mother was away in Nigeria.

Some residents also questioned how the incident occurred, noting that the building is fitted with window safety features designed to prevent full opening.

To be fair, they do have precautions on these windows to make sure these things don’t happen,” one resident said.

Another added that the windows are secured and cannot be fully opened, further adding to uncertainty surrounding the circumstances.

The property management company, Greenwin, which manages the building at 200 Chalkfarm Drive, described the incident as “deeply saddening,” adding that its thoughts are with the child’s family.
