Briton John Tinniswood, who last April became the oldest man in the world, died at the age of 112 in England, his family and Guinness World Records announced yesterday.
Tinneswood, who was born in Liverpool on August 26, 1912, died in a nursing home in Southport, northwest England, and his family indicated in a statement that he died “surrounded by music and love,” adding: “John always loved to say thank you, so in his name we thank everyone.” Who took care of him over the years.” John Tinneswood has a daughter, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
In April, the Guinness Book of World Records officially classified Tinniswood as the oldest man in the world, after the death of Venezuelan Juan Vicente Pérez Mora at the age of 114.
Tinneswood did not follow a specific diet, except for a plate of fish and chips which he ate every Friday, “like” the other residents of the nursing home.
Earlier this year, Tinniswood dismissed his longevity as a matter of “luck,” although he praised the principle of moderation for staying healthy.
He said in an interview with the Guinness Book of World Records: “If you drink, eat, or walk a lot, or do anything in a big way, you will eventually suffer.”
This man, who was born in the year the Titanic sank, served as an accountant in the British Armed Forces during World War II, and then worked for the two giant oil companies, Shell and BP.
