The world's oldest man, U.S. citizen Walter Breuning, has died at the age of 114.
An official at the retirement home where Breuning lived in Montana says he passed away on Thursday.
He had been hospitalized since the beginning of April with an undisclosed illness.
In an interview with the Associated Press last year, Breuning attributed his longevity to eating just two meals a day, working as long as he could, and never being afraid to die.
Breuning was born on September 21, 1896 in Minnesota. He worked for a railroad for 50 years.

ReplyDeleteRIP "old man". No pun or disrespect intended. He looks better at age 114 than a lot of people I know at 64.
From TripleOphiuchus811:
ReplyDeleteMore super-geriatric people die at age 114 than any other age. When I saw this thread title, I thought, "I wonder if he was 114."
Of course he was.
From Freeky_Feet:
ReplyDeleteHe looked pretty good for his age.
But RIP, he had a good run that's for sure.
From Saiid Yari:
ReplyDeleteShoot, he doesn't look a day over 85!
From Stan Hixson:
ReplyDeleteI'd like to look that good when I reach SIXTY-five!! ;)
