World's Oldest Man, British WWII Veteran John Tinniswood, Dies at 112
Nov 26, 2024, 04:15 PM
John Alfred Tinniswood, the world's oldest man, has died at the age of 112 on 25 November 2024 at a care home in Southport, England. Guinness World Records announced his death. Born in Liverpool on 26 August 1912—the same year the Titanic sank—Tinniswood became the world's oldest living man in April 2024 after the passing of Venezuelan Juan Vicente Pérez, holding the title for nearly nine months. A World War II veteran, he married Blodwen in 1942 and was a great-grandfather to three. Tinniswood survived two world wars and two pandemics. He attributed his longevity to "pure luck," regular exercise, and moderation in all things. He enjoyed fish and chips every Friday and was a lifelong Liverpool FC fan. His family stated that his final day was "surrounded by music and love."
