Emiliano Mercado del Toro, 115, is now the undisputed longest living elder in the world. And he's Taino!
The previous record-holder, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bolden, age 116, passed away last Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee. Lizzie held the record for just 3 months after inheriting it from Maria Esther de Capoville of Ecuador, who died August 28, 2006, also at the age of 116.
Thank you Lizzie and Esther for lives long-lived.
And Congratulations, Viejo! Dios te Bendiga!
