«Mrs. violet moss-brown is the oldest person in the world, has died. She was 117 years old. Rest in peace, Mrs moss-brown.»
It happened around 14:30, in the medical centre Fairview Medical and Dental. According to 85-year-old Barry Russell, his mother began to feel ill last week, after which she was taken to the hospital. Doctors said that the body of violet dehydrated, and her heart beating irregularly.
The title of oldest person in the world, violet received a few months ago, April 15, 2017. That day, she took the baton from the 117-year-old Emma Morano, who died at his home in Italy.

But unlike Emma to get into the Guinness Book of records as the oldest person on the planet and violet did not, though soon she had to meet with the representatives of the Commission, retaining records.
Violet was born March 10, 1900, that is, for 62 years before, when Jamaica ceased to be a British colony and obtained independence. It is interesting that in 2015, Queen Elizabeth II sent her written greetings 115-year anniversary.
The greater part of his life, violet was devoted to sugar cane in the fields near her home. What hard work she called as the secret of his longevity. She also regularly attended a Christian Church.
“Almost everything I did in the Church. All the time I spent in the Church. I like to sing. Since childhood and till today I spend all my time in the Church,” said violet.
Now, after the death of moss-brown, the oldest long-liver of the Earth was Nabi Tajima, living in Japan. She is now 117 years, 1 month and 12 days.
Interestingly, the longevity record was set by French woman Jeanne calment, who died in 1997, lived 122 years, 5 months and 30 days.
