IamNobuddyTIL Amou Haji, known as the "world’s dirtiest man", avoided bathing for over 60 years due to a superstition. After villagers finally convinced him to wash, he died just weeks later at the age of 94.
I imagine that if they managed to convince him is because he wasn’t feeling too well.
In other words, maybe what killed him wasn’t having bath but what made him change his mind about the bath.
“But, local media say, Amou Haji finally succumbed to pressure and washed a few months ago.
According to Iran’s IRNA news agency, he became ill shortly afterwards and died on Sunday.”
