The dirtiest man in the world, Amou Haji, died on Sunday, October 23, 2022, in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars, Iran.

The news was published by the Guardian, citing the IRNA news agency, which pointed out how the elderly hermit had not bathed since he was just over 20 years old, basically since as far back as 1954. He was 94 years old.

Haji slept in a hole he had dug for himself, ate porcupine meat and drank water from puddles.

It was said of him that he decided to become a hermit who was anything but accustomed to ‘beauty routine’ because of a disappointment in love, but there were also those who said that the old man did not want to wash himself for fear of falling ill.

Dejgah villagers, from whom he did not accept food and water, had recently persuaded him to wash for the first time since back in 1954. After his death, the record may go to an Indian man who claims not to have washed for more than 30 years.
