World's oldest person, 115, dies

The world's oldest person -- an Iowa woman who scrubbed floors until she turned 90 -- died Monday at age 115, less than two weeks after earning her venerable distinction.
Dina Manfredini, a native of Italy, died in Iowa, said its director, Heather Rehmer. She declined to give details. Her birthday was April 4, 1897.
The passing of Manfredini apparently leaves a Japanese man, Jiroemon Kimura, as the world's oldest person. He was born just 15 days after Manfredini.
