A
117-year-old woman in Mexico City finally received her birth certificate, and died a few hours later.
Trinidad
Alvarez Lira had waited years for proof that she had been born in 1898.
She
hadn’t received all the government old age benefits she was entitled to because
she had no proof of her age.
The city
department of social development said on Thursday they had finally granted her
birth certificate earlier this week, but she died of a heart attack on
Wednesday..
Apparently
Alvarez Lira didn’t have time to cash a single check. See photos below...
