The "dirtiest man in the world," Amou Haji, an Iranian who lived in the town of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars, passed away at the age of 94.
He earned his nickname because he hadn't washed in nearly 70 years and thought that keeping filthy had kept him alive.
Haji had experienced "emotional failures in his youth" and lived alone in an open brick cottage.
His skin was coated with "soot and pus" as a result of years of not taking a wash, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA.
