Man who didn’t shower for 60 years dies at 94
An Iranian Hermit and former Guinness world record holder for the “world dirtiest man” has died at the age of 94.
Reports from Irna news agency (Islamic Republic News Agency), said the Hermit was known as “Amou Haji”, a nickname for an elderly person in the community.
Haji died on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars.
The Iranian became an internet sensation after local media reported that the hermit had never had a bath in 60 years.
The 94-year-old was always seen covered in black dust, eating from road kills, taking a smoke from an animal excreta, and lived alone with no family until his death.
The Irna news agency reported that Haji was always sad when asked to take his bath, while locals claimed that he never had his bath due to “emotional setbacks” he experienced in his youth.
