The world's oldest man has died in England at 112

Hindustan Times  

LONDON — For nearly nine months, John Alfred Tinniswood held the title of world's oldest man, marking his 112th birthday during his reign. The world's oldest man has died in England at 112 His record-holding status ended Monday when Tinniswood died in a care home in northwest England near Liverpool, where he was born on Aug. 26, 1912, his family said in a statement. Tinniswood attributed his longevity to “pure luck.” “You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it,” the retired accountant and great-grandfather told the Guinness World Records when he earned the title in April. “That’s probably why I’ve reached it.” The world’s oldest living woman, and oldest living person, is Japan’s 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka.
