Maria Branyas Morera, World's Oldest Person, Dies at 117
Ms. Morera, who cultivated a following on social media as "Super Catalan Grandma," died peacefully in her sleep, her family said.
...Like many supercentenarians, Ms. Morera became the subject of scientific fascination. Her habits and lifestyle — and genetic makeup — have been studied in the hopes of understanding her longevity.
"What do you expect from life?" a doctor once asked her while retrieving blood samples for study, according to El PaĆs.
Ms. Morera, unmoved, answered simply: "Death."
