The 'dirtiest man in the world' dies, spent about 67 years of his life

An Iranian man dubbed the "dirtiest man in the world" because he hadn't showered in more than half a century has died at the age of 94, state media reported.

Amou Haji, who was unwashed for about 67 years, died on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in Iran, the IRNA news agency said.

Haji chose to avoid showering for fear that it would bring him bad luck and make him sick. But "for the first time a few months ago, the villagers had taken him to bathe ," a local official told Iranian state media.

"Not long after, he fell ill and finally, on Sunday ... he passed away," IRNA reported.

Mr. Haji, nicknamed "the dirtiest man in the world", has died at the age of 94. He is pictured here in 2018 in Dezhgah in Iran.
