I'm sadden to report the passing of Mrs. Justa Araujo of Makallé, Chaco Province, Argentina, who passed away on 6 February 2023, at the claimed age of 114.
She claimed to have been born on 10 August 1908.
We knew about her since 2018, but we were never able to find documentation for her claim. If validated, she would've been the oldest living person in Argentina, and the second-oldest living person in South America.
