Greetings,

Guinness World Records began authenticating "oldest" records in 1955. The GRG began to make lists of supercentenarians in 1997, from the Guinness World Records lists, and became a Guinness World Records collaborator in the 1990s and consultant in the 2000s. As such, if the case is for age records, we can consider GWR-authenticated to be "validated" in most situations. We should make an exception for cases where, for example, there is no confirmation of survival past a certain point. But in this case, I think it's clear that the man who was 106 is the man who died at 110.
