The “World’s Dirtiest Man” Dies at 94 Following His First Bath in More Than 60 Years

The “world’s dirtiest man” died in Iran on Sunday at the age of 94.

According to BBC, Amou Haji passed away in Dezhgah village, which is located in the southern province of Fars.

It was reported that Haji hadn’t bathed for nearly six or seven decades out of fear of contracting an illness.

Earlier this year, locals had convinced Haji to wash before his passing.

In 2014, he told the outlets that he lived between a hole in the ground and a brick shack while feeding on various roadkill. Haji also revealed that he smoked animal feces out of an old pipe rather than tobacco.

According to Haji, his decision not to bathe was due to “emotional setbacks.”
