According to state media, an Iranian man known as the “world’s dirtiest man” for going decades without a shower has passed away at the age of 94.
Haji avoided taking a shower out of concern that he might “get sick”
Amou Haji, a single man who had not washed in more than 50 years, passed away on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars, according to the IRNA news agency.
Haji avoided taking a shower out of concern that he might “get sick,” according to a local official quoted by the news agency.
But “for the first time a few months ago, villagers had taken him to a bathroom to wash,” IRNA reported.
A short documentary film called “The Strange Life of Amou Haji” was made about his life in 2013.
