Iranian the recluse who was known as the “dirtiest man in the world” died on Sunday at the age of 94. The matter was reported by the Iranian state media, including the news agency AFP and the news channel CNN by.

He died in the village of Dejgah in the province of Fars in southern Iran. His funeral was held on Tuesday in the nearby town of Farashband.
“The dirtiest man in the world” lived on the outskirts of Dejgah village.
The villagers had built a hut for “Uncle Haji”.
