?I JUST WANT TO DIE? Indonesian man who claims to be world?s oldest person aged 145 says can no longer stand living? and even bought his own gravestone 20 years ago
?What I want is to die. My grandchildren are all independent,? he told Liputan 6 on Tuesday.
Suryanto, Mbah Gotho?s grandson, said his grandfather has been preparing for his death ever since he was 122, but it never seemed to come.
He said: ?The gravestone there was made in 1992. That was 24 years ago.?
In addition, Suryanto said Mbah Gotho?s family has already prepared a grave site for him ? near his children?s graves.
Staff at the Indonesian records office have confirmed Mbah Gotho?s birth date, which is specified on his Indonesian ID card as December 31, 1870.
Whether or not he will ever be listed as the world?s oldest man however is open to question, as the paperwork has so far not been independently verified.
