[Elaine Esposito](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Esposito#:~:text=Born,would%20not%20survive%20the%20night) holds the record. She was put into a coma by doctors at age 6. She died, never having woken up, 37 years later.

Edit: I was wrong! Apparently she held the record for a while but two people have “beaten” her now.

Also, as another person pointed out, she was put under anesthesia and never woke up, so not a coma. Likely a persistent vegetative state.
