Japan is misplacing its really old people. Is misplacing the right word here? Maybe it’s better phrased as MSNBC put it: “loses track of its centenarians.”
Let me break it down for you. According to reports, Japanese officials admitted on Tuesday that they have “lost track” of a 113-year-old woman, who is recorded to be Tokyo’s oldest living person. But here’s the kicker – officials went looking for the woman only after a police search of the home of Tokyo’s oldest living man proved that said man was in fact dead, and his body had been resting in a mummified state in his home for approximately 30 years. Are. You. Getting. This?
