Madrid - A Spanish official says social services will not take custody of the two small boys whose mother gave birth to them at age 66 then died last week at 69 because they are survived by relatives.

The official with the children's rights ombudsman's office of the southern Andalusia region says the two-year-old twin boys born to Maria del Carmen Bousada are not at risk.

However, the official said she could not confirm a report in the Diario de Cadiz newspaper that the children's godfather, a nephew of Bousada, will raise them.

Bousada died on Saturday, reportedly of cancer. She was the world's oldest person to give birth at that time in 2006.
