A Portuguese woman who was the world's oldest person has died at the age of 115 and 114 days.
Maria de Jesus was the world's oldest person since American woman Edna Parker died in November at the age of 115 years and 220 days.
A family member said Maria de Jesus died in an ambulance on her way to hospital.
Maria de Jesus was born on 10 September 1893 in a poor area in Urquiera, close to Ourem in central Portugal.
She started working in agriculture at the age of two and never went to school, remaining unable to write and read for her entire life.
After marrying, she moved to the town of Corujo with her husband where she brought up her six children.
After the death of Maria de Jesus, American Gertrude Baines, who was born on 6 April 1894, becomes the world's oldest person.
