John Tinniswood, the world's oldest man, has died in northern England. He credited his longevity largely to 'pure luck,' but did offer advice about over-indulging - in anything.
London — The world's oldest man, John Tinniswood, has died at the age of 112 at the care home where he lived in Southport, northwest England, Guinness World Records said Tuesday, quoting his family. Tinniswood was born in Liverpool on Aug. 26, 1912, and died on Monday. He became the world's oldest man in April following the death of 114-year-old Venezuelan Juan Vicente Perez.
''You either live long or you live short, and you can't do much about it,' he said. He nonetheless advised moderation in all things to stay healthy. 'If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much, if you do too much of anything, you're going to suffer eventually,' he added. During World War Two, Tinniswood held an administrative role in the Royal Army Pay Corps, going on to work in accounts for oil giants Shell and BP.
