Longevity claimant

Juan Jose Vera Villalva (20 January 1909? or 20 January 1921 – 28 March 2024) was an exaggerated Ecuadorian supercentenarian claimant whose age is currently unvalidated by Guinness World Records (GWR). If his claimed age is true, he could have been the oldest known living man and person in Ecuador, and the oldest living man in the world from the death of Emilio Flores Marquez of Puerto Rico on 12 August 2021, until his own death.

Biography[]

Juan Jose Vera Villalva (sometimes gives as Villalba) claimed to have been born in Ecuador on 20 January 1909 and he died in Ecuador on 28 March 2024, at the claimed age of 115 years, 68 days. If his claimed age is true, he could have been the second-oldest person ever from Ecuador, behind Maria Capovilla, and the fourth-oldest man ever, behind Jiroemon Kimura, Christian Mortensen, and Emiliano Mercado del Toro.

Age Issues[]

Some researchers on The Global Supercentenarian Forum, claimed to have discovered an ID card for Juan Jose Vera Villalva, which supports a birthyear of 1921, but so far no proof of such an ID card has ever been released.
