Misao Okawa has died from heart failure at a nursing home in Osaka, Japan.
She was 117 years old.
Wait... WHAT?!?
According to the Guinness World Records, Okawa was the oldest person on the planet at the time of her passing. She was born on March 5, 1898.
The Associated Press reports that Okawa enjoyed a meal of ramen and a cup of coffee everyday for breakfast, all the way up until the final weeks of her life.
ESPN's Stuart Scott (1965-2015) will forever be missed. The beloved anchor and personality passed away after a long battle with cancer in January at the age of 49.
Charmayne Maxwell was a Grammy-nominated singer who tragically died at the age of 46. According to report, she passed away from wounds suffered after accidently cutting herself at home.
"She went so peacefully, as if she had just fallen asleep," Tomohiro Okada, an official at her Osaka nursing home, told reporters. "We miss her a lot."
Earlier this month, Okawa - who is survived by survived by two daughters, a son, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren - told Time magazine that her life "seemed rather short."
When asked what the secret to her longevity could be, she responded:
"I wonder about that too."
Following Okawa's death, the world's oldest person title is now held by an American woman: Arkansas' Gertrude Weaver. She is 116 years old.
