Amou Haji, a single man who had not washed in more than 50 years, passed away on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars, according to the IRNA news agency.
Haji avoided taking a shower out of concern that he could "become ill," according to a local official reported by the news agency.
IRNA, however, stated that "for the first time a few months ago, locals had taken him to a restroom to wash."
According to Iranian media sites, a short documentary film called "The Strange Life of Amou Haji" was produced in 2013 on his life.
