World's oldest man dies at 112 in Japan

AKIPRESS.COM - 2500 The world’s oldest man, Sakari Momoi, who cited healthy eating and a good night’s sleep as the secrets to a very long life, has died aged 112, Guardian said.

Momoi, whose was born in Fukushima on 5 February 1903, was not alone in Japan in enjoying remarkable longevity: his successor is a compatriot, Yasutaro Koide, who was born just over a month later.

Momoi was born the year the teddy bear was introduced and the Wright brothers made their first powered flight. He was 42 when the second world war ended.

Local media said Momoi died at a care home in Tokyo where he had lived for many years.
