More than 230,000 centenarians in Japan are missing...

More than 230,000 Japanese listed as at least 100 years old can not be found and may have died long ago, according to a government survey.

The Justice Ministry ordered a review of records that found about 77,000 people who would be at least 120, and 884 people who would be 150 or older.

The head count followed a flurry of reports about how elderly people are falling through the cracks in Japan as its population ages rapidly and family ties weaken. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Japanese dude kept dead mother in ... backpack???
  2. Japan, where living up to a 100 years is no big deal...
  3. Japan, the strange country...
  4. Undousuru??? It's "exercise" in Japanese!
  5. The secret of a long life? Remain a virgin!!!
