At 111 years and 224 days old, John Alfred Tinniswood from England has officially claimed the title of world’s oldest living man.
Guinness World Records made the announcement on Friday, two days after announcing the death of former title holder Juan Vicente Pérez at the age of 114, a month shy of his 115th birthday.
“You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it,” Tinniswood said in an interview with Guinness in which he was presented with his certificate.
While Tinniswood, who does not smoke, rarely drinks and has fish and chips every Friday, said the secret to longevity is “just luck,” he advised on moderation in life: “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually.”

That is a very positive way to say "the oldest person in the world died"
Oldest man. IIRC the oldest woman is a few years older.
Just looking at Wikipedia the top 50 people are all women and it doesn't have anyone beyond that on the list.
That is very interesting. Never really thought about that.
Oh I see, you are right, thanks.
Another one bites the dust!
