World's dirtiest man took a bath... and died

Iranian man who didn't wash for half a century dies at 94 - BBC News

Around 45 years ago I was working part time on a farm. One of the tenant farmers there was a middle aged mountain man from out of the Appalachia mountains here in Kentucky. He only had a half dozen teeth, reportedly only went to 3 days of school in his life and hadn't bathed in years. One hot summer day his three brothers had had enough and grabbed him to throw him into a pond on the farm. He beat the crap out of them, managed to throw two of them in the pond, and walked back to the house chuckling about it.

In used to have a roommate for about 8 months and in the entire 8 months I never had any peripheral knowledge to him bathing. When he first moved in I was glad because he wasn't much to look at so seeing him walk in a towel was kind of disgusting thought. Anyway as far as I know I never heard a shower drawn while we lived together and I would have heard because my bedroom was the closest to the bathroom.

Before you ask no he didn't stink, honestly. And yes it is possible he was showering elsewhere but where I have no idea. No, I never asked him because it wasn't none of my business and like I said he didn't stink. He had no girlfriend or significant other and he worked at the clerks office. Unless I'm misunderstanding there's no shower there...

It's a mystery that has plagued me for years now.
