Italian Emma Morano, last known survivor of 19th century, dies at 117 - after claiming her secret to long life was eating TWO raw eggs every day....

Born 29. November 1899.  Sad to see this era end.

So apparently the takeaway from this story is that being born prior to 1900 is a leading cause of death.
