A former post man and farmer , Kimura , who lived in Kyotango near Kyoto in western Japan, died on Wednesday after suffering a bout of pneumonia. Guinness World Records had recognised him as the world's oldest living person, the oldest living man and the oldest man ever. He died of natural causes. He became the world's oldest person on December 17, 2012, after the previous oldest person, a 115-year-old woman from Iowa died, according to Guinness World Records.
Kimura
was born in 1897, the same year as aviator Amelia Earhart and the year Queen
Victoria marked her Diamond Jubilee. What a sad loss
