An Iranian man, Amou Haji, nicknamed the “dirtiest man in the world” for not taking a shower for decades has died at the age of 94, state media reported on Tuesday.
Haji, who did not wash for more than half a century and was single, died on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars, the IRNA news agency reported.
Haji had avoided showering over fears of “getting sick”, the agency quoted a local official as saying.
