Amou Haji, popularly known as the world’s dirtiest man has passed away at the age of 94. The Iranian who did not take a shower for more than half a century and was single died on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars, Iran.

Based on past reports, Amou had not taken his bath in over 65 years because he is scared of water; he also believes that he is going to fall sick if he ever takes his bath. An IRNA report has it that the villagers had taken him to a bathroom to wash a few months ago.

Prior to his death, Amou Haji was a homeless person; he wanders near the isolated village of Dejgah in the Southern Iranian province of Fars and lived in holes made in the desert outside the village. Although the villagers built a hut for him, he chose not to live there.

Living in the desert, Amou eats rotten meat and drinks five liters of water from a rusty oil can every day. He also loves to smoke but his style of smoking involves inhaling dried cow dung instead of tobacco while eating rotting porcupines.

Local villagers who are obviously very familiar with Haji, explained that the 87-year-old who is covered in ash and dirt trims his hair by placing it over a fire. They also believe that heartbreak was the reason that Amou Haji chose his dirty lifestyle and   that he has survived for so long by keeping himself dirty
