Japanese authorities admitted Tuesday they'd lost track of a 113-year-old woman listed as Tokyo's oldest, days after police searched the home of the city's official oldest man — only to find his long-dead, mummified body.
Officials launched a search this week for Fusa Furuya, born in July 1897 and listed as Tokyo's oldest citizen, after it emerged her whereabouts are unknown.
The idea that they didn't know that the oldest living Japanese man had been dead for 30 years is pretty crappy. What is even worse is that they found his mummified body in his apartment and no one knew to check on him. I know he had some sort of relations that could have at least checked up on him in the 30 years that his body was slowly mummifying. I really hope someone goes to jail for that mess.
