This story says Sept 8:

POLONIA: HA COMPIUTO 118 ANNI L'UOMO PIU' VECCHIO D'EUROPA = E RIVENDICA IL PRIMATO MONDIALE ASSEGNATO A UN'AMERICANA

Varsavia, 8 set. - (Adnkronos/Dpa) - Nell'Europa a 25 il 'nonno' degli europei e' polacco: Josef Piotrowski ha spento oggi 118 candeline, essendo nato l'8 settembre 1887 nel piccolo villaggio di Jalowka, vicino Bialystok. Il 'vecchietto' rivendica ora il titolo di uomo piu' anziano del pianeta, che il Guinnes dei primati assegna, in 'barba' alla sua anagrafe, all'americana Elisabeth Bolden, nata il 15 agosto del 1890. Il titolo di uomo piu' vecchio del mondo, sempre secondo l'annuario dei record, e' attualmente detenuto da un portoricano, il 114enne Emiliano Mercado Del Toro.

Il segreto della longevita' di Piotrowski, secondo quanto riferiscono i media locali, risiede in una vita regolare - mai una sigaretta, soltanto qualche abbondante bevuta -, contrassegnata dalla sua grande passione: suonare l'organo. Malgrado negli ultimi anni l'anziano sia stato costretto a restare a letto, avendo progressivamente perso l'uso delle gambe, Josef e' lucido e gode di buone condizioni di salute.

I don't think I have enough knowledge to make proper claim. I just saw article in Polish wikipedia, translated it into English, and then found two Polish web pages with information about Józef Piotrowski. The additional information included in those two articles is, that Mr. Piotrowski began learning playing organ in 1905, his first teacher was priest Kartonowicz, that he for 4 year lies in bed, because of sore legs, and that he is interested in Polish politics :).

Greetings:

Regarding this claim:

His birth certificate is in the possession of the Franciscans in Svisloch (currently part of Belarus).

I am the gerontology consultant for Guinness World Records. If anyone would like to submit copies of these documents which are alleged to exist, please contact me at ryoung122@yahoo.com. → R Young {^yakł_talk} 07:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unconfirmed death

There are 'rumors' that Mr. Piotrowski died in late 2005, but no article citations or even a death date. Please, provide a rationale for the death info. Thanks. R Young {^yakł_talk} 08:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
