Note the report in column 2: "Can He Prove He Is 128!" |
As the late, great Paul Harvey would say "Here is a strange." (A Chicago census taker found a man who claimed he was 128 years old. Sayed Mehren, an Egyptian-American, who had papers, which the census taker and higher officials believed to be true, so he was officially recorded as 128 years old. Being someone who finds this claim to be absurd, I did some research and found a page on Gerontology.org [link] that claims his story was debunked, but they provide no evidence or even explain how they came to the conclusions they make. They have his date of death listed as Jan. 14, 1943 at 72+ years old, however, his death was reported in the press as Sept. 29, 1943.) |
