Fulla Nayak

I don't know what to make of this.

Yesterday, The Sun website posted this heartwarming story.

A great - great granny reveals how she has lived to be 120 ... by smoking CANNABIS every day.

Fulla Nayak – believed to be the world’s oldest woman – puffs “ganja” cigars and drinks strong palm wine in her cow-dung hut in India.

She lives with her 92-year-old daughter and grandson, 72, by the Indian Ocean.

Fulla said: “I don’t know how I’ve survived so long. Many relatives much younger than me have died.”

However, a quick Google news search reveals that she was 125 and died at her home in Orissa on November 18th, as reported here, here and here.

Surely The Sun wouldn't publish something that wasn't true?
