Tokyo's oldest listed person, age 113, is missing

TOKYO – A 113-year-old woman listed as Tokyo's oldest person is missing, officials said Tuesday, days after the city's oldest listed man was found dead and mummified.

Fusa Furuya, born in July 1897, does not live at the address where she is registered and her whereabouts are unknown, Tokyo Suginami ward official Hiroshi Sugimoto said.

Her disappearance surfaced just days after the shocking discovery last week of the mummified body of the man Tokyo officials thought was the city's oldest living male.

Officials said they had not personally contacted the two people for decades despite listing them as the city's longest-living. They apparently learned of the man's death and the woman's disappearance when they began updating records ahead of a holiday honoring the elderly next month.

Officials visited Furuya's apartment last Friday, but her 79-year-old daughter said she has never lived there.

The daughter, whose name was not disclosed, told officials she was not aware of her mother's registration at that address and said she thought her mother was just outside Tokyo with her younger brother, with whom she has lost touch.

But when officials checked that address they found a vacant lot.

Officials are also looking for a 106-year-old man who is missing in Nagoya, central Japan, Kyodo News agency reported. The Asahi newspaper said three more listed centenarians were unaccounted for.

Maybe they'll find him hiding in a cave on Okinawa waiting for the Emperor to send more troops to fight off the invasion, with a rifle, a few grenades, and a bottle of saki?
