The world's oldest woman died in Japan at the age of 115 in a nursing home, according to reports.
Koto Okubo died Saturday at a nursing home in Kawasaki City, according to city official Mitsuhiro Kozuka. He said her relatives declined to release the cause of her death and family details, according to the Associated Press.
Kawaksi Municipal Government said she enjoyed spending time with her son, who lives at the same nursing home.
The Kyodo news agency said the oldest person now living in the world is Jiroemon Kimura, a 115-year-old also from Japan.
Okubo was born Dec. 24, 1897, and held her title as the "world's oldest woman" for less than a month following the death of Dina Manfredini of the United States.
