A recluse dubbed by the media as the world’s filthiest man has died at the age of 94 . Amou Haji refuses to use soap and water, fearing it will make him sick. The Iranian man, who lives in Fars province, has not cleaned in more than half a century. He first purged under outside pressure a few months ago, and Iran’s IRNA news agency reported that he fell ill shortly after and died on Sunday. He previously told the media that he chose to avoid the world and not wash because of emotional frustration as a young man, because his skin was covered with soot and pus from years of not washing, and his diet included carrion and unsanitary water.
