From Jontoo, yesterday:
"...the swedish TV-channel TV4 made a live-interview with Agnes Boström, as she the last week became the oldest person in Sweden and the nordic region. I link it here, even though I don´t know if it is possible to watch outside Sweden. TV-interview A. Boström

She seems still very active and in good shape. Just to be able to do a live-TV-interview at her age 112 (with some help from her granddaughter). Her hearing is not good but eldery people get problem with hearing already in their 80´s-90´s already. She still got her joy and humor though.

The TV-host asked many questions about how it feels to be that old, what she had done to become so old and advice for people to become that old. She answered them very shortly that it didn´t feel any special and that she don´t know what to do to become so old. ...."

So sad that less than a month ago she looked so good, even giving an interview on TV, and then this fatality happens and she dies
That's life, despite her age, I don't think anyone imagined she would pass away in such a short time.

By "this fatality", you mean her death itself, right? Not anything that came before it?

I wonder what her cause of death was, since she was still in great shape right before her death.

I was really hoping that she'd reach age 113+, but sadly, it was not meant to be. 🙁

Correct, I was also curious, I believe it may have been from my own age, without a defined cause

Rest in peace Ms Agnes Boström.

Sadly, we continue to learn from many cases that life is always fragile at this age.  And apparent robust health can mean very little sometimes.
