Oldest person in the United States dies at 115

(WLTX) – Bessie Hendricks, believed to be the oldest person in the United States, has died at the age of 115. Hendricks passed away Jan. 3 at the nursing home where she lived in Lake City, Iowa, according to an obituary.

She was the oldest person living in the United States until her death, according to the Gerontology Research Group in Los Angeles, which keeps a tally of supercentenarians, or people who live to 110 and beyond. (It mistakenly lists Hendricks' date of death as Jan. 3, 2022.)
