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.
“His last day was surrounded by music and love,” the family said in a statement, also thanking “all those who cared for him over the years.”
Born the same year the Titanic sank and living through both World Wars, Tinniswood told Guinness World Records that the secret to his longevity was “pure luck.”
“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.
