World's dirtiest man has died aged 94
Amou Haji, nicknamed the "dirtiest man in the world" for his refusal to take a shower for more than half a century, has died at the age of 94.
The Iranian passed away on Sunday Dejgah village, in the southern province of Fars.
Haji lived an isolated life and never started a family. According to a local official, for decades, he avoided bathing over fears of "getting sick".

However, a few months ago, residents in the village took him to a bathroom to shower for the first time. They said that his skin had not been touched with soap and water in decades.
