María Díaz Cortés (4 January 1892? – 15 January 2009[2]) claimed to be the oldest living person. She was born in Spain, and went forty years without heating or hot water.[3] A Romani, she owned a valid Spanish identity card with such a birth date, but it was not issued before 1975 and is not a copy of an earlier one,[4] and her daughter was only 73 when she died meaning she was 44 when her daughter was born.[5]
