A woman who was said to be the oldest person in the world has died aged 135, Chinese officials have said.<\/p>\n

Almihan Seyiti, who claimed to have been born during the Qing dynasty, passed away surrounded by her family on December 16.<\/p>\n

The elderly woman was born on June 25, 1886, and managed to survive two battles with cancer before she died at home last week.<\/p>\n

Ms Seyiti married when she was 17 with her husband passing away in 1976, according to the Communist state's media. <\/p>\n

Her hobbies included singing and playing musical instruments.<\/p>\n

Until her death, she was still able to hear and see but was unable to walk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, her age would make her 17 years older than the Guinness World Records' oldest living person, Japan's Kane Tanaka. <\/p>\n

However, her records were unverifiable despite officials giving her an ID card bearing her supposed birthday.<\/p>\n

Guinness World Records were not invited to independently verify her age which has resulted in doubts swirling in the West as to her actual date of birth.<\/p>\n
