Amou Haji, nicknamed the dirtiest man on earth, died last Sunday months after taking his first shower. According to reports, the old Iranian man had avoided taking any baths for over half a century over fears of "getting sick".
Amou Haji, 94, passed away in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars. Iranian media also added that "The Strange Life of Amou Haji", a short documentary film, was produced about his life in 2013.
