October 26, 2022: An Iranian loner, also popular as the "dirtiest man in the world" for not taking a shower for more than half a century, passed away at the age of 94. The man named Amou Haji was afraid of water and had not bathed for over 60 years. He breathed his last on October 23 (Sunday) in the village of Dejgah in Iran’s southern province of Fars, reported The Guardian reported.

Haji was single and avoided taking a shower in the fear of "getting sick", IRNA News. However, a few months ago, he was forced by the villagers to wash for the first time. Several pictures of Haji are being shared on social media with netizens wondering if his "non-bathing" record was for real.

 


Haji used to live in an open brick hut and he had faced some "emotional setbacks in his youth" that made him stern about not taking a bath with water or soap.

A report published in Tehran Times also claimed that Haji would eat roadkill, smoke a pipe filled with animal excrement, and believed that cleanliness would make him ill. Some pictures on social media also show him smoking multiple cigarettes at once.



Owing to his unique record, a short documentary titled ’The Strange Life of Amou Haji’ was made in 2013, describing his life.
