A 113-year-old
Japanese man, Masazo Nonaka, recognized in April 2018 by Guinness World Records
as the world's oldest male, died on Sunday, according to Japanese public
service broadcaster NHK.
Nonaka, a resident of
Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, was born on July 25, 1905.
Nonaka's family
noticed on Sunday morning that he wasn't breathing. His doctor confirmed that
Nonaka had died. The family said that he seemed to be fine on Saturday, according
to NHK.
Guiness World Records
named Nonaka as the
world's oldest man in April 2018 when he was 112 years and 259 days old. He
spent his retirement reading newspapers, eating sweets and cakes, and watching
TV, particularly sumo wrestling, Guinness World Records wrote.
He said at the time he
believed his longevity was due to soaking in hot springs and eating sweets, but
his daughter said it had more to do with living in a way that doesn't bring
stress, the site wrote.
