Who was the cleverest person in the world that has ever lived?

假设我想知道从古至今最聪明的人是谁,他/她可能已经去世了,可能还活着,但我不清楚,现造句如下:

Who was the cleverest person in the world that has ever lived?

请问这句话主句和从句的时态选择是正确的吗?

根据主从句时态呼应原则,应该是:

Who is the cleverest person in the world that has ever lived? (此人可能仍然健在,也可能已经去世)

Who was the cleverest person in the world that had ever lived?(此人已经去世)
