About Benito Martínez

  • Benito Martínez Abrogán (died October 11, 2006) was a Haitian Cuban who claimed to be the world's oldest living person.
  • He claimed to have been born on June 19, 1880, near Cavaellon, Haiti; however, he had no documents to verify this and was thus never an officially eligible candidate for this record.
  • The Cuban government sent officials to Haiti to investigate, but found nothing to either prove or disprove the claim.
  • Cuban government medical experts attested that he was at least 119 years old at the time of his death, but the reasons for this determination were never presented.
