I read a piece in the Fridays daily nation titled 'japan probe as centenarian missing'
According to the story people who are reported to be over 100yrs are either dead or missing but due to the welfare money their family fail to report. for instance when officials went to visit a man reported to be 124yrs they found out he had been dead since 1966.
in another case officials visiting a 111 year old instead found his mummified 30yrs old remains. the relatives claimed he had retreated to his room to become 'a living buddha' while at the same time 109,000 dollars of his welfare money was withdrawn recently
