The “world’s dirtiest man” passed away in Iran on Sunday at the age of 94. He was referred to as Amou Haji . . . or “Uncle Haji” . . . and there have been several profiles on his bizarre lifestyle.
He had not bathed in more than 60 YEARS . . . because he believed that soap and water would make him sick. But a few months ago, villagers persuaded him to wash for the first time. And shortly afterwards, he did get ill.
There’s no known connection between him bathing and his death . . . it probably had more to do with him being 94 years old . . . but who knows.
In 2014, the “Tehran Times” reported that Haji also avoided fresh food, opting instead for rotted porcupine, and smoked a pipe of animal excrement. He also loved cigarettes, and would often smoke several at once. He’d drink up to five liters of water a day . . . although it was out of a large, rusty oil can.
