Lefroy Brownlow Place was the oldest person in Bermuda, born on 24 July 1916 and died on 23 July 2024 and is considered the oldest man in the country's history. He was the oldest person in Bermuda since 26 Jan 2023 (1 yr, 179 days), the longest since Winnifred Childs stayed (4 yrs, 266 days) and died on 3 May 2021, he is the first man to be considered the oldest person there, and the second oldest person in the history of Bermuda, only second to her predecessor Myrtle Edness, dead at 108 years, 193 days.
Does anyone know who the oldest person and man in Bermuda is now?
