World’s Oldest Man Dies at 112: A Reflection on Longevity and Mortality
John Tinniswood, the world’s oldest man, passed away at age 112 in Southport, England. Born in 1912, he attributed his longevity to luck, though he also advocated moderation. Tinniswood served in the Royal Army Pay Corps during World War II and later worked for Shell and BP, maintaining a lifelong love of Liverpool Football Club and Friday fish and chips. He is succeeded by 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka of Japan as the world’s oldest living person.
