The world's oldest living person, Japan's Misao Okawa, has died from heart failure at the age of 117. She died in a nursing home in Osaka, the city she was born in on 5 March 1898. She is survived by three children, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She lived across three centuries, seeing four emperors of Japan, six British monarchs, and 20 US presidents.
